I discovered this by accident (& fortunately in time) that with a purchase of a new Moto G, if you access Google Drive within 30 days you can click to take advantage of an additional 50 Gb of cloud storage on your Google account for 2 years at no cost!
You snooze - you lose!
I think everyone who owns a moto g know this. no need to open a thread for this.

I did not know about the offer and I am already using my Drive on a different gmail account (which has 15GB). There is nothing showing up after product tour either. Nothing to say redeem or already redeemed. Is there anyway to find this out?
how do they start counting these 30days? 30 days after purchase, 30days after first boot or 30days after first login to google services on the device?

In my case (XT1028 Verizon) I have never activated the phone so it appears the countdown started when I first entered my Google account credentials.
The first visit to Drive on the device starts with a tutorial & on the last page presents the clickable offer.
I've bought first the 8 gb version and activated the 50Gb promo, but soon after I discovered a dead pixel on the screen and returned the phone back. Misfortune did not allow me to exchange or buy a new one, since they were all sold out and I bought 16 Gb in another country, so now I both have 50Gb in GDrive and 16 Gb on the device Sorry for a little boasting So I guess the next guy who buys the fixed device wouldn't get google's promo, right?

Why not try man? Just open Google drive and see if you get the offer(if the 30 days are not over yet).
The reason for me to skip this and several other simular past offers, is that it is temperary. With prices gDrive dropped I almost took a cheap subscription with Google. The reason I didn't is that Drive only works with Windows with all cloud files permanently synced on harddrive. I find that ridiculous. When I use cloud I want to spare the space on my hard drive. OneDrive and Box I can use in Windows without the need to have all those gigabytes of data on my hard drives at all times.

You are not forced to have the app installed on Windows... You are not even forced to use the 65 GB you now have with it... Your logic beats Google.

The downside of using cloud storage and not having optic fiber is that it's not really effective... We shall wait Google fiber worldwide and probably that will give us direct unlimited connection speed to Google.

You can create a fake amazon.com account using a fake us address (i googled for one) and your set as long as you don't try to get a paid for app for that you would need an american based credit card.
Thx i grabbed the app (same method listed above)
Just downloaded and tested, worked perfectly with my WiFi printer, Canon MX880.
The app does work great. I downloaded and installed the printer sharing app and can print to my office's network printers no problem. Not even sure if you need to do that, but it worked for me.

did they release the app store to other countries?
have a german account and had no problem with the app store.
nice app btw.
This is a great app. I liked it before but hated the price so I bought Printbot for something like 25-33% of the cost. Sad part is that I bought it just a few weeks ago! I still grabbed this one though.
i grabbed it also its great better than cloud print

Is there anyway to get Amazon to send a email for the free app of the day?
Wow, digging up an old post, lol. Why not just take the 30 seconds out of the day to manually check? lol. Make yourself a calendar reminder for every day of the year, if you really can't remember, and voila.
I didn't know I have that app. I just tried printing something from Google doc and it works! Amazing!
Edit : I use this app called my daily free Amazon app. You can set a time, and it will notify you of what free app for that day. I set it to 10pm everyday, because I'm usually home during that time so I could use wifi to download

google doesnt let ppl in sweden to use prepaid google play giftcards, nor prepaid visa/mastercards such as spendon cuz on that last one your name have to be the same on the card as on your account. furthermore, since i live in sweden, paypal does not apply to me either since they only issue a card in the USA. so now what? is there any oher solution that can be done?

You know that was a really constructive reply man.. really..
If you have a phone that is linked to the same Google account as your tablet, purchase the app on your phone through whichever payment you usually use. After it's purchased, you can then download and install the purchased app on any device linked to your Google account. Alternately, go to the Play Store through your regular browser, and purchase through there.. push to your device, and you're good to go.

EDIT refer to this thread on the same theme [add the three w`s to the address]

My suggestion is get a credit card but request a limit.. When first got my credit card I had 5k limit, I told them make it 500. This helps control your spending

If Google is rejecting your prepaid card because the name doesn't match, maybe you should solve that problem instead? Are you sure a regular card wouldn't have the same restriction?

Yes, that link takes you to the techintz.com web site which you would then think it's all above board and then you have 8 comments so obviously it's been downloaded.
.... but what I would like to know is why are they pointing to a mediafire download link and not google play for the Box App without first explaining the reason.
Its a modified version of the app box to get you free space... The one in the market isnt modified to give you free space..

It's very tempting, but Technitz hasn't been around that long and it's run by some guy in Tanzania (not that this means much except that it's not a viable and reliable source and it's a country where there is likely little chance of legal recourse). The APK is questionable at best...so, while tempting, I'll pass. Its not like this is the first or the last of such deals...so I'll wait until the next legitimate offer.

I understand your concern about going through an unknown source but why not just try and download the box app from...
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.box.android&feature=nav_result#?t=W251bGwsMSwxLDMsImNvbS5ib3guYW5kcm9pZCJd
and follow these instructions to see if you can get a free lifetime 50GB Box storage.
How do I get my 50GB?
If you’re brand new to Box, you’ll need to download the app from your device and sign up for a free Box account. After the sign up is complete, log into your account from the device. Your upgrade should be complete and you’ll see a confirmation message.
If you already have an older version of the Box app on your device, you just need to sign into your account on your device and the upgrade should be complete.
Note that this promotion is only for free Box Personal accounts; if you are a Box Business, Enterprise or paid Personal customer you do not qualify for this promotion.

Installed the app, got my 50GB, uninstalled the app and changed my password to something REALLY secure. Also under Settings -> Security in browser version you can activate 2-step verification for unrecognized logins, where after logging in a code will be sent to your mobile. And you can see when and where your account was accessed.
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...

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.

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.

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.

Approval is instant. The only reason it would take longer is if your credit is sketchy and they want a human to review it. Regardless, you could call and get your answer. I deal with these credit apps every day. My account is set up and ready to go for Monday.
