How to Get 4.5 GB of Dropbox Storage for Free

Ploddles · 2 Feb 2012

If you don't mind running the beta version of the new Dropbox client you can get extra space for free up to 4.5GB in total.

I've just installed it, connected my iphone and it asked if I wanted to upload the photos from it. Said yes and 30 seconds later it gave me an extra 500MB.

Being a beta are there clauses that the space may be removed without warning?

Ploddles · 2 Feb 2012

I believe you get to keep it as a reward for beta testing.

ah right just read the links, so you get 500mb increments up to 4.5gb

might be worth a poke

I would read the T's and C's, in the past there was something about rights to photos but never looked into it as don't use it. All my photos are on my zenfolio at high res as well as at least 2 drives.

Mark,

I wouldn't put anything decent on there yet, just upload rubbish to claim the extra space.

Dropbx sucks. Can't think of any good reason to use it.

Gotta love a reasoned argument

Dropbox rocks, can't think of any good reason to not use it.

Coupled with dropsync on all the household android devices its a life changer for us.

Really?

I find it great, so much easier having it installed between iMac / Laptop. so much easier to use when needed. I also give certain people access to pictures I have taken for whichever means person I do work for and they find it easy to use and everyone's a winner

recommended to anyone

I love dropbox for my works stuff.

I have a number of folders set up so that if I get a new manual, tech bulletin etc all I do is download it onto my pc, bung it in dropbox and all 4 of the machines I use for work including apple, android and winddows devices all get upadated to the same data.

Great program well worth using.

I'd be realy interested to know whats wrong with it.
