[GET] 4.5GB Space Added to your Dropbox

**BlackSEOWizard** · 02-03-2012, 04:40 PM

(UPDATED) This is now 5GB!

I know this isn't a download specifically, but I am a huge user of Dropbox and have a bunch of accounts, some of my free ones have around 9-10GB of space now.

I like to use multiple accounts as I have a lot of VMWare instances and I like some of them to have private space not with my main accounts.

Anyway, for a limited time Dropbox is beta testing Image syncing from cameras. Every 500MB of images/movies you sync, you will get 500MB storage increase, up to 4.5GB. So a brand new account can end up with 6.5GB of space.

You have to download their beta version, and then just plug in a camera/memory stick, or even a cd/hd with images and chose import to Dropbox.

I did this to 5 accounts, and all of them got 4.5GB increases. If you do more than one account, the easiest way is to throw 4.5GB of pictures/videos on to a DVD and just put it in the drive and have it import. Keep in mind if your a photographer like me, you may use RAW images, it crashes when you do so. So stick with video and jpgs. It also crashes on very large JPGs (like 30MB ones).

Once you do this, I suggest you re-install the latest stable version just in case there are other bugs.

MODS, if this belongs in a different spot, please let me know or move it. It is a very limited time (days/weeks) that this will be available. I suggest updating a couple of accounts if you have others you plan on using in the near future like I do with my VM's.

Looks like they updated it, it is now 5GB!

Thanks BlackSEOWizard. However, considering that it is not
a download and is a limited offer, I have decided that it is
best to move it to the Lounge.

Thanks.

you can try to bug your friends to join up.. after they install it you get the bonus space regardless of them uninstalling.

or you can try posting your link all around the webs and see what happens.

I made a blog post and did some onsite seo with my link a few days ago.. but i haven't tried building backlinks or anything yet.

no account access needed,

I just ordered mine a few days ago, and hes working on referrals for my account up to about 10GB now. Well worth the 5 bux.

Why not use SugarSyncFree? It has 5GB at all times and is much better than Dropbox. (See signature.)

I say this after having used every cloud/storage option I can think of.

SugarSync allows you to have the Dropbox style folder but has even more feature. Check it out.

Dropbox is a standard, but I also use the collaboration features a lot with VAs. Also more of the apps I use support it.

A flawed standard. Why should I have to move my files from their original location into a new "dropbox" folder?

SygarSyncFree allows me to sync the file or folder or share it with someone where it currently exists without having to move the file from the original location.

Like 10,000+ apps support Dropbox, how many support Sugarsync?

I can see why you would want to sync anything at times, for me the restriction of one folder is more than fine with me. I can create junction points if I want to have data stored in one place easily in Windows or Mac, so it is really a moot point.

I don't know how SugarSync works, never used it but one sharing is the main reason I use dropbox, I have a lot of VA's working off dropbox in sort of an assembly line fashion. It works really good and outside of the security issue with dropbox (Employees can read your data, even though originally they claimed they couldn't) there is not much I don't like about dropbox. It just works and works great.

**BlackSEOWizard** · 02-15-2012, 12:11 PM

As much as this technique rocks, there is something better.

Go to Fiverr, there is a guy that will give you a new Dropbox account w/ 18GB (and you can then add the 5GB while this beta promotion is out) or you can give him your referral link in another Fiverr and he will upgrade it to 18GB by sending you 32 referrals and giving you an EDU email address to use.

Both techniques you can then expand by another 5GB using the technique mentioned above and have 23GB!

Your "Dropbox" folder doesn't have to be dropbox you know..

You can set C:\Program Files\ as your dropbox point, and dropbox can be setup where is tho, if dropbox ever gets shutdown or offline, your files will still be there..

Not really, I found a super easy way. Just goto Fiverr, buy the gig, that will get you 18GB, then do the beta version with picture uploads above for another 5GB.

There are two gigs from dropbox18g that are worth getting.

One will give you a free account with 18G, the second will get you referrals and give you an EDU that works to upgrade your existing account and get you to 18G.
