[Q] dropbox 50gb offer - Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Do anyone knows if the 50gb dropbox offer will renew to the people who already got it last year or prior with note 2, s4 or so?
Because if I login with my account that only have 1 year more and I am not gonna get an extension of 2 or 1+2 years again, I'll use another account.
thanks!

You need to use another account! Thats at least what I had to do. Plenty of 3rd party programs out there that can work with 2 dropbox accounts + my Note3 seems to remember both logins, meaning that I just need to click "use another account" and it logs on automatically to the second.

So, they don't extend the time?
what a shame

What if you just have a normal dropbox account? Will it just add the 50gb after you do the steps or would you have to create a brandnew account?

If you have a normal account you dont need to create a new account. Dropbox will email you on how to activate that free 50gig
On a side note im also interested how to add the 50gig to my current free 50gig (from my S3 update)

Ahh i see! Thank you!:good:

Right now I have 76.5 gigs for my Dropbox account and when I use this offer it should go to 126.5 gigs lol. Another good one is Box, they started me with 50 gigs free and the interface is the nicest of any cloud storage I've seen.

After reading dropbox forums, samsung offer only works one time per account, so if you login with an account that already got in the past the 50gb offer, you will lose it and your account will not be extended in time or upgraded in size.

[Q] Missing Dropbox and 50 GB

Maybe I'm not up to date but I didn't see where to add dropbox for the 50GB. I had to get it from Google play but saw no notification about the 50GB.
AT&T isn't supporting the free 50GB Dropbox..
My friend, I am so sorry to be the one to inform you of this but AT&T opted out of giving you this for free. They were worried you might actually use your data plan to use it (you know, those GB's you paid for).
Google for a link if you're interested, I guess I'm too "new" to post a link.

Attaching a card during registration was optional, and they won't automatically charge you anyways:
What happens at the end of my free 1-year membership?
You are receiving a full 1-year membership to ShopRunner. You have the option to provide your payment information that would be used to renew your membership at a rate of $79 annually. Even if you provide your payment information, your account will not be billed unless you actively go into your Account Settings page on ShopRunner.com and change your status to auto-renew your membership. As a reminder, your free 1 year membership has no obligation and does not require a credit card. The 1-year membership is absolutely free.

Thanks OP :good:
On a side note, you can get an extra 3 months for free by activating ShopRunner Central. To do that, after you sign-up, go to Track All Shipments/Orders, and sign up for ShopRunner Central to get a 3 month extension. Keep in mind that this grants access to your Gmail account for them to download receipts and orders from all of your online orders, not just ShopRunner orders. So open a second tab and have the page ready to cancel the Central thing. Make sure to revoke access to your Google account as soon as you see the credited time on your account. It should be immediate.
To add/cancel ShopRunner Central: http://www.shoprunner.com/members/ShopCentral.php
To revoke access: https://www.google.com/settings/security
I'm set up until 19 March 2014 now. Note that they run these promotions at least once a year. I've had ShopRunner nearly since the day they came out, and I've never once paid a penny to them for membership. This will be my third or forth year now. It's worth it for free Dominos pizza delivery alone. lol
EDIT: I just logged in to my account to check up on things, and I noticed that they seem to have made 2013 a free year for everyone. My account does not expire until 19 March 2015 now. Yay, I suppose.
How do you add the promo code if you already have an account with them? Or do you have to set up a new account with a new email?

If you currently have an account, there's a clever way to get in on the deal. Cancel your membership, then sign up again with this deal using the e-mail address of your now cancelled account. It will retain all of your shipping history and account info and extend your membership a year from the date you re-sign up. You'll gain at least 15 months, if you combine it with my suggestion above. There's a possibility that you'll get an extra year for free if you're quick about it. It seems like they're giving away a free year for 2013 for current members. That could give you a total of 27 months for free.
Signed up, purchased a mSD card for my vacation. Received two day shipping. Thanks!

[Q] Dropbox Bonus Space Time Extension

Moved from Galaxy S3 (1 year old) to Note 3.
With 1 year left of the 50 gig bonus, I figured that signing in on the Note 3 would extend the bonus period (if not double the space) as this bonus is free with every Samsung phone purchase.
However, upon signing in, I did not notice any free space or even any time extension in the bonus tab of Dropbox.
Does that mean every one is limited to a 1x 50 gig, 2 years ONCE only, regardless of new Samsung phone upgrades?
Was the bonus that came with my Note 3 nullified the moment I signed into an account with existing bonus?

I thought the same as you, and alas i did NOT get any further space either. Them's the breaks i guess.
If you even hoped you'd get extension on dropbox. You don't know how capitalism works.

The free 50 GB space on Dropbox is per email address. If you need another 50GB sign in with a new/alternative email ID.
Also, there's no 'extension' to the expiry date in your existing account if you purchase a new handset. You need to purchase storage space after the Samsung provided 2 year period is over.

Last checked, capitalism meant you get what you paid for. I spent my capital on purchasing a Samsung note 3 with it's accompanying services including Dropbox, I would get what I paid for since Samsung paid Dropbox a portion of my capital for their services.
Just because it's called a "bonus" doesn't mean it wasn't factored into your purchase cost.
But what do I know about today's capitalism.

Galaxy Perks = $600+ in what world?

Ok so I'm wondering how they get that the Galaxy Perks for the Note 10.1 2014 are worth "over $600".
Lets break it down:
Samsung Hub ($50) by the way this Samsung Hub sucks, they have very few books, their movies are insanely over priced to rent or buy and I'd rather get my apps from the Google Play Store.
Google Play ($25) - Only worth wild thing I've used so far
Audible ($44.85) this doesn't even seem like a good deal, 1 free book a month for 3 months? (eh ok if you sign up on their website you get the first month free so I'm taking this down to $29.9
Hulu Plus (23.85) - 2 months free
Boingo ($119) - Free Wifi? Ok not to sure how this works yet
SirusXM Internet ( $44.97) though if you sign up on their website you get 1 month free so dropping this to $29.98) Also its only for new customers so if you got Sirus your SOL.
Zinio ($10) - Digital Magazines?
Ok so now we are at $287 or $317.67 if I didn't subtract anything.
So where is the missing $283+ perks?
$6 USD = $1 Samsung dollar :good:

If you use all 50 GB. Remember, 2 GB is free, if that's all you use, then it's $0.

I use almost all of the 50gb for photo uploads, it'd also be good for videos

I'm currently on about 10gb out of the 50gb. Dropbox is an amazing tool. I'd set a high value on a year of that.
On the other hand, I set a pretty low value on all the rest of it, so there we go.

It is indeed 2 years.
Unfortunately, they had the same off a year ago when I bought my original note 10, and so I already have the 50gb for 2 years. And it seems you can't get the offer again, even though this is a new and different tablet.
I may write to Dropbox and attempt to blag an extension, worth a try

I think I read somewhere that it`ll automatically give you another 2 years once your other offer expires

Doesn't look like you can get 50GB on Drop Box's website normally, starts at 100GB for the paid service ($100) But for the sake of this break down lets say we are up to $417 now.

It's actually 2 years of drop box. Also we get 1 year of business week

the 50 GB Dropbox is only for new Dropbox users right? I already have a 150 GB Dropbox and noticed that registering and using Dropbox on my new Note did not add any new space for me.
Not only this, but in the UK it seems we dont get this perks thing at all....

Included app for Businessweek (1 year subscription, I think, I really like the app).
2 or 3 months of NY Times.
Still short.

18 months ago I registered my Galaxy S3, got 50GB Dropbox. Recently tried getting another 50GB when activated my Note 2014. Did not get additional 50GB.
Then created a new user for my wife on the home screen, used her DB email address. She got the 50GB added to her account.
Has anyone tried creating a 3rd user to see if they also get an additional 50GB?

If I understand correctly what you're asking, no, you can't use it for two accounts. I've had the bonus added to my account, then tried to login to a different account (after flashing stock rom to get rid of root), but didn't get the bonus. Seems that it's tied to one device?

You're right. Created a 3rd account that has DropBox, did not get additional 50GB on it.

[Q] Missing dropbox space in note 4 N910H

Hello I bought this Saturday the Note 4 N910H in Mexico. I must confess I am very happy with it.
The only important issue I have had so far is the missing "gift" of 48 Gb from dropbox. I just wanted to confirm if anyone with this note version is getting the additional space. Also, I wonder if this version can get, somehow, the evernote premium subscription.
In case it could matter matter , I also got the 48 Gb from the original note 10.1 two years ago (which has recently ended for me)
Thanks
I have the same issue. Like you my old 50GB limit from the note 2 ended about 2 weeks ago. They actually gave me 5gb when it ended which is more than enough for me so I'm OK with it.

5? Damn it!! they gave me 3!
So you think the reason we did not get the 48 gb again is because we had it in the past?
Acording to what i have read extra 48 gig is only for new accounts. I have 50 gig account with my note 2 which will expire soon and I opened second new account for note 4. Also some carriers opted out of promotion. Now im running two different dropbox accounts on my pc.

You didn't get the extra space for Dropbox, because you have redeemed it before from your Note 10.1 using the same account although it already expired. That's what dropbox customer service told me when I didn't get the extra space from my Note 3.
The only way you can get the extra space is by creating a new dropbox account.

Thank you very much for your reply. Just one thing... When I got the additional space two years ago the dropbox account was not "new"...
Uhm they should warn about this to the note users...
Thanks again
yes the account doesn't have to be a new account, but the account must haven't redeem extra space bonus from Samsung
