Well, serves you right for trying to rip Dropbox off. You can consider yourselves lucky to only have lost the extra space.

lol @ ppl getting mad at others for attempting this.

Lost mine too never got an email though.

Well just keep an eye out for box.net they might run that 50gb deal again.
IMO I just paid for Google drives 25 gb option. Loads cheaper than box or dropbox,

Just buy the Galaxy Tab II then return it...I bought it and returned it because I didn't like it...but still have the space.

Google drive isn't like drop box and box though. I can't just link zips and such like box or drop box. If I do it just gives them the content then have to go to file and download. And only if they have Google drive as well. Besides you can link via an app. It may cheaper but you pay for what you get. I also hear GDrive has a native file viewer which is nice.

I lost my 50gb from dropbox. Did anyone else lose theirs?

I noticed this morning that I dont have 50gb anymore from dropbox. Im wondering if its just me or if dropbox caught on to it.

I still have mine

How long have you had it? Was only valid for 2yrs if I recall.

From S3 promo? I still have mine. Not sure what you mean "if Dropbox caught on to it." It was a promo offered by Samsung/Dropbox, so I'm pretty sure Dropbox was aware of it.
If you log into your Dropbox account, click your name in the top right, click settings, and then click the Bonus Space tab, you can see everything that has affected your space there.

Not all the carriers (AT&T, and Verizon didn't iirc) signed on for the Dropbox promo, so the K00l Kiddies tried a dumb "hack" to get the 50G that dropbox can take back whenever they want. (they've taken it back before).

Yep, I got mine by installing DietICS ROM, and just noticed the 50gb is gone.

I never bothered with it as I have 50gb from Box when I bought my Touchpad. Was Leary of trying to jerk the system as I had a few people I know lose all their stored data when drop box caught em.

I am pretty sure they caught onto it. The same thing happened with the HTC promotion that offered dropbox space. Someone extracted the Dropbox APK and hacked it to work on any phone thereby giving you the promo space. A few months later everyone who used it had the space removed. Its very possible that they caught onto it. Diet ICS was/is based off the Rogers stock so by installing it, you'd get the 50GB of space inadvertantly since Rogers SGS3 was valid for the 50GB promo.
Dropbox must have found a way to determine what phone you actually have based on your IMEI possibly and removing the space like they did for the HTC hack

Lost mine, asked me to fill out questions to keep it. I did that then it went back down to 2 GB.

Well, i just pay the $10 every month and have no worries about it being taken back. And they just doubled my space to 100gb.

I did mine when it was first announced about the Samsung+Dropbox deal .. at that time I was still using the Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket .. got the 50GB .. bought the Samsung Galaxy S III when it came out .. and still as of today, my 50GB is still there

I don't have the phone, but is your 77gb from a Samsung device already? When I got my Note 10.1, I got 50gb free. Wondering if that's only 1 Samsung device that you get that. If its not, try signing out and then back in. Did you sign in when you setup the phone?

UPDATE: I had already completed the 5 steps long ago, and wasn't getting my free 50gb with my N2. However, I just enabled photo uploading, and the extra space just turned up!

started doing all the "get started" things and got a mail and now i got 50.75gb storage.
strange though that i had to start doing stuff for it to tell me that.

You have to do the 5 getting started steps and make sure you turn on photo uploading at least initially.

If you have a gmail account, it already does that, sorta. Photos will back up to G+/Picasa, apps are "backed up" with your play account, though their settings aren't. SMS won't get backed up. I usually just install titanium backup and have it do a full backup every friday night. That gets everything.

How do I go to the top of a webpage when I'm at the bottom of the page with a single touch/click?

Hi,
When you scroll down in Dolphin HD browser, you normally get an arrow pointing up on the bottom right of the screen. Touch it to go up to top.
Cheers!!

I cant do that in the default browser or chrome? Imagine scrolling all the way to the top from a multipage document!

Try going to dropbox.com/gs in your device after installing Dropbox app and logging in. I am still waiting to receive my Note 2 and hence can't confirm this works.

does anyone know if the offer is stackable? got 50GB's from when i bought my S3, So i'm wondering if i'll get another 50 from the Note II

I'm in the same situation. They are not stackable.

+1 I received it once for my Note 10.1 but nothing for Note II!!! Disappointing! I did pay money for both of them!

If you have already claimed the offer from a previous Samsung device and wonder why you don't or have double the space here is your answer.
If you log on to your desktop version and go to your settings then bonus space , you will see that you already claimed the Samsung promotion, the promotion isn't model specified, its pretty much the original "Samsung Promotion" you received covers all the Samsung devices you activate. Each user is only eligible for one Samsung Promotion of this type for a single account.

If you did get the bonus promo on your previous device and your new device don't get comfy cause you wont keep it for long. Dropbox is good good/fast at claiming double offers back.

So if I availed of the bonus space on my s3 and log in on my note 2 years later then it will give me another 50gb for 2 years again?
Sent from my GT-N7100 using Tapatalk 2

No you won't. Blah I edited that part out. Everything is explained in the dropbox website link I attached regarding the Samsung Promo. After the promo expires unless they run a new promo of some sort you automatically will be downgraded according to their promo terms. I will be claiming my Note II bonus space on a different email account and will just use shared folders between my two dropbox accounts.

Go to the store. Use both phones. And decide which you like better.
How does the nexus 4 cost 500$ in the end? Google is selling it for 299 or 349.

unless you are like me and have 12 GB of movies and music on your device.....
ummm...here's the question you need to ask yourself (speaking to OP)....
are you a big media, music person? if not, then absolutely get it.
if you are, don't waste your time. there is not external storage (no micro sd) support on the nexus 4... huge fail IMO. i would have been all over that. just really didn't feel like using up all my storage by simply transferring all of my ***t to my new device. what is this an android/iPhone? i was confused by that feature being absent. i guess they can't give you EVERYTHING... but that is a big thing to exclude IMO.
fail.

yeah sure... cloud storage is great if you have a 42 MBs connection everywhere you go. you can't depend on your data connection 100% of the time. and how many people have unlimited data? if you don't have unlimited data plans, forget it. you gonna throw your entire hard drive of movies on your cloud? no thanks.

i see your point..But I can just do one movie delete then another and then delete why keep a bunch of movies on your device (unless you are going on a long trip or something)

and it becomes more of a real issue if you are somebody who has a vast music collection.... i would rather not pick and choose on a weekly basis what music and movies i have to keep or delete on my device. that's what micro SD cards are for.... they remove the requirement to even have to think about it. it's just there. all the time. at your fingertips. right when you want it.

When all that's said and then, get the (Far superior and arguably THE BEST PHONE TO DATE) SG3 and then sell it like a crack junkie for the weaker Nexus 4 !!!
You should get the nexus 4 because you can't even appreciate how truly great the SGS3 is!!!

P.S. This thread is ridiculous not only can't I believe it's creation but also that the mods haven't shut it down yet or moved it!!!

I love my SGS3, but the Nexus 4 is tempting. The lack of SD card storage may be the deal breaker.

OK my opinion is this. I first got the g2x and went through about 5 of them because of screen issues and random reboots. Samsung Galaxy Galaxy S3, 0 returns. Solid phone works perfect, I can't complain. I remember my brother told me that LG makes awesome televisions and my response to him was then they should stick to that. Again this is my opinion it's all up to you. But after my experience with LG, I would not purchase another phone from them again. Good luck.

If you're talking about getting a s3 thru tmobile's deal with the mail in rebates, you might want to make sure that they don't require you keep the device until the mail in rebate is cleared and received.
