Samsung Galaxy S3 Dropbox offer

On the lines of the HTC One, the Samsung Galaxy S3 will be offering 50GB of dropbox storage for a period of 2 years.
Not bad if you do decide to go in for the S3.
Samsung Galaxy S3 Dropbox Offer

just another worthless sell argument...
you can't stream music or videos so what is 50gb worth for a phone then?

it's only for 2 years
and it was mentioned in the original samsung press release

I stream music and movies from DropBox too
BUT, I do kinda agree that it's a worthless sell since the space is taken back in two years. I'd rather they just give us, say, 10GB... and make it permanent. 10 on top of the free 13 I already have would be a nice cloud storage.

u will change your phone by two years soo dont worry abt it

I'll probably just stick with the 50GB free for life at Box courtesy of HP when I got my (cheap) TouchPad

Suppose it's nice to have it but not a deal breaker for me. At least there's an sd slot so you can add extra storage unlike HTC's offering.

Yeah I have the free 50 from Box too... big deal... They give so much space free because the service sucks compared to Dropbox. Doesn't even have an auto upload feature. Oh, and I didn't even have to buy a cheap TouchPad to get the free 50.…they gave it to everyone and anyone who signed up awhile back.

Yeah but it's free for life so I'm not going to complain. Plus you never know it might improve anyway. Would be nice to know in advance what the Dropbox charges would be after the 2 years (do we get a special deal after that?)
Sent from my GT-I9100 using xda premium

Too bad it's two years only...
That's sounds like a "1 year free Norton antivirus" installed on your laptop when you buy it.
(OK to be honnest I prefer the dropbox offer
Also i have the feeling i will need the droppbox content when i don't have 3G connection.
If i buy a S3, i'll buy a 32Gb/64Gb microSD and won't use this "cloud" storage. So not a sell argument for me.

Yeah that's pretty much why I signed up for it too. It's free and for life. I suppose it's always possible I might use it someday.

Yes but I think most people would change their phones in less than 2yrs, I had this galaxy s2 for less than a year now and I feel like buying an S3 so emmm I think 2yrs is enough, okaay its a bit little but does the whole 50GB go or they reduce it to the free storage ? and besides not many people will store many data because most is personal people will store for sharing mods and apps so u dnt need 50GB

Lol. You change your phone but you would still have the same dropbox account. Unless you mean new phone new offer?

Aww so we can't sign our account too multiple s3's to get infinite storage. Bugger

heheheh well they say each account is linked to one SG3 :/, which seems a bit weird *-) like If I flash my SG3 it may not be recognised, or maybe its like once u get one u cant get another account , So lets say I flash my phone with another rom so my Android ID changes and it wld think that its another phone so maybe u can get many accounts .

They have a Tiger Direct Store here in Dallas.

While I haven't purchased anything in maybe a year, prior to that I've been 100% satisfied.

I have just recently bought a power supply from them. I think i will stick to newegg now, their customer support was horrible. I never felt so insulted before. The first two 2 times i called, they were total d**ks, maybe its the luck of the draw. After 4 calls, and 2 email's I'm still having trouble with my purchase. Shame on you Tiger Direct, i did not have a pleasant experience at all.

Newegg carries - Free headset with purchase

For those who can wait for shipping, I see Newegg carries the Nexus 7 too. They're also offering a free Syba (who? :laugh headset with the purchase that they sell normally at $60. Worth checking out.
Also you don't pay tax depending on where you live.

No link to headset?
Not really interested but would be cool to look at.

I don't shop at Best Buy enough to get tied into that stuff. But tax free and work to murder me over the next week is enough for me to wait for my tablet. Newegg also had free shipping. I'm not gonna complain much there!

So they give you a free headset that won't work with the device! The N7 does not support input in the headphone jack. The mic won't work.

I can confirm that the new n7 does have mic in via the audio jack... The headset I used to test gave a terrible buzzing noise though, so can't confirm if the input is any good

Seems like AT&T omitted the free 50gb Dropbox again...

once again, AT&T seems to have killed the free Dropbox again... probably because they are pushing the AT&T locker feature... damn you AT&T...

I got the 50gb about a month ago when I sign up on their web site. Had to install it on my s4, pc and one other thing I can't remember. Might be worth a shot if you haven't got an account already

When I was playing with mine out of the box and clicked on drop box it had the 50GB offer. This was a Tmobile Note 3. I signed in with my existing account (already have 73GB from a previous 50 bonus from the SIII offer plus some promos hehe) and it did NOT give me 50 more. I suppose if I signed up with a new account it would have given me the 50 after meeting their requirements. Oh well...
I suppose if I really wanted it I could ODIN back to stock and try it again but I'm not doing that.

You cannot redeem the 50gb offer more than once on a single Dropbox account. You have to make another account to redeem that 50gb space. It doesn't stack. I've done it with demo units in stores where now I have multiple Dropbox accounts with the 50gb promo.

Yes, the T-Mobile and Sprint versions definitely have the 50gb DropBox promotion. I am not sure about Verizon though.

And what happened to the free year of Evernote Premium? Was that an incorrect rumor or do non-AT&T versions come with it?

You all know that this is a PROMO only and after two years, after you've accumulated ALL of your DATA into the account you have to PAY for it, otherwise, it gets deleted??!? If it was LIFETIME free, YEAH that's worth talking about, but c'mon, two years just so they can get you used to the idea, start save bits of data here and there...Blink of an eye, and I can imagine Willem Dafoe *BAMF* pop in the chair across from you with a sharp black suit and long creepy fingernails, dangling a PEN and asking you. "All of this could be yours, just sign on the dotted line"...

Completely agree, pointless to complain about a TEMPORARY offer.... if you truly want cloud storage then look for a solution that is permanent. There are quite a few choices for minimal cost available with most offering at least 10GB free.... how many of you are actually using 50GB of storage... very few I'd imagine.

24 months and 50GB. Mine is up to 73 due to other promotions and such. Not a bad deal for free. It's $9.95/month for 100GB.
It's a convenience more than anything else. I have several phones linked to this and it's nice to be able to take pictures or see pictures from another phone, etc. I have about 6GB on mine which is next to nothing.
If I decide when it's up that I don't want it and need anything I'll download it and that will be that.
No big deal but for the meantime I'll gladly use the space for free, for now.

Think this will be sold through carriers? Right away?

I am on a contract-based family plan thing with Verizon. I still get subsidized phones. Think I will be able to get this as a cheap upgrade from Verizon right away?

no

Why dump verizon? Just buy any nexus and put your sim in and works from day 1 on verizon. at least that is what i did with nexus 6. no issues at all. would expect the same from the nexus 5x and 6p

I assume it's because Verizon didn't support the Nexus 6 for like 5 months after it was released or something.

They didn't "officially" support it but day one if you put nano SIM in nexus 6 it worked flawlessly. I did it on multiple occasions without a hitch every time

Verizon doesn't offer contracts anymore. You will have to switch to one of the newer cheaper plans, or drop full price upfront.

It doesn't look like Google is going to be partnering with carriers at all this round, and I don't think Google will be offering payment plans on the play store. Hope I'm wrong but it wouldn't be shocking since n6 sales didn't to be all that strong last year in carrier stores.
