In addition to the bonus 3GB space offer, you can also get another bonus 1GB space by linking your Dropbox account with the Mailbox app (if you haven't done it with the earlier offer yet/didn't have an iOS device to do so). Earlier the offer was just available for iOS devices, but is now also available for Android devices.

All you need to do is download the app, open it, link it with your Dropbox account and you should get the bonus 1GB.

Android App (Requires 4.0.3 and up):
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.mailboxapp

iOS App (Requires iOS 7 or later):
https://itunes.apple.com/au/app/mailbox/id576502633

Referral Links

Referral: random (366)

Both referrer and referee will receive 500MB bonus space (up to a limit of 16GB)

          well der

          abusing the affiliate system would get you banned anywhere else on the internet, dont see why dropbox would be any different.

      Wow - a pretty easy way to make money. He just creates multiple email addresses and uses them. Just a matter of uninstalling and reinstalling the app each time

      • surethang on 10/05/2014 - 11:07

        Uninstalling doesn't work.

        Dropbox knows it's the same computer after a reinstall because it records something unique and permanent about your computer to identify it each time - I vaguely recall it's the MAC address of a comms device.

        But there are ways around this also.

        • kwaker on 10/05/2014 - 13:54

          I would like to know as ive changed ip and gmail didn't work still recognizes it.

        • surethang on 10/05/2014 - 14:17

          Summary: Change the MAC address of an operating system hosted in Oracle VM VirtualBox.

          Plenty of step-by-step articles on how to do this here:

          http://www.google.com.au/search?q=dropbox+mac+address+virtua…

        • snuke on 10/05/2014 - 16:57

          After reading that, I would happily pay $5 to anyone to do it instead of all that messing around.

          +1

          Absolutely… if you're doing it from scratch.

          But worth it if you already have VirtualBox set up, as many people do, and you know how to use a decent disposable email service - then it's ~40 seconds work per address. Far less effort than installing and uninstalling Dropbox multiple times had that worked

      I know a guy in Vietnam who running a similar business at the moment. He hires a bunch of high school kids - most of them disabled, paying them like $2 to $3 per hour and get them to just sign up for free email and do this kind of referral stuff. He is doing quite well and helping the kids too, amazing business - more like a charity

    • poppingtags on 09/05/2014 - 21:22

      Did you use it thrice on the same account, or on three different accounts?

    • arthurbach4 on 09/05/2014 - 23:59

      I see you get 16gb for a free account and 32gb for a pro account using the dudes service. Would the smart thing be to upgrade to pro for a month and get the 32gb - then downgrade to a free account again?

      Perhaps it would revert back to the 16gb?

      • snuke on 10/05/2014 - 09:25
        +2

        Thanks for the tip, guess we will find out as I just upgraded for the month.

        • icmania on 10/05/2014 - 12:04

          Please keep us informed. I'm so curious!

        • snuke on 13/05/2014 - 12:36

          The referrals are coming through now at 1GB each. Ultimately we will have to wait for my month of Pro to finish, but I suspect it will revert to 500MB per referral.
          I say this because the one referral I already had from 2 years ago has changed from 500MB to 1GB as well. If this can change, I can see that it can change back too.
          Now to double check if my monthly is on auto renew.

        • arthurbach4 on 13/05/2014 - 18:11

          OK I tried it.

          I acquired the extra 32GB from referrals to bring me to 186.75GB in total (that's 100GB for going pro, 50GB from an earlier Samsung deal which expires in around a month and 4.75GB from other freebie offers along the way).

          I waited a few days and then downgraded back to a free account and unfortunately I only kept 16GB of my referral space bring me back to a total of 70.75GB

          Never mind - for $5 USD it was worth the risk.

        • snuke on 22/05/2014 - 15:17

          Likewise. I just set my account to downgrade, they say I will go from 41.85 GB free space to 27.85 GB free.
          It was worth a try.

    • tomclancy on 10/05/2014 - 00:02

      I've also used the same imgigz vendor on three separate Dropbox accounts. Nothing dodgy about it, and you needn't worry about security - the only thing you give the imgigz vendor is your Dropbox referral link. They setup 32 referral signups using your referral link and in less than 24 hours you have another 16GB of space. If you do this USD5 imgigz trick plus all the other available freebies (excluding device purchases) you will end up with 22.88GB lifetime space

      • tazmaniak on 13/05/2014 - 16:29

        Yep, confirmed it worked well for me. Ordered Friday, space appeared on Monday.

      Good work Shadow131 for recommending this scammer :)

      • snuke on 12/05/2014 - 00:28

        What was your estimated completed date? Mine is May 11th, which is today in the US.
        It shows 6 orders are in progress. They do not get paid until it is completed.

        • [Deactivated] on 12/05/2014 - 00:49

          Mine was the 10th, so I'd assume I've been robbed.. only $5 but can buy a lot on ozb!

        • snuke on 12/05/2014 - 09:27

          I think that is an automated response, the feedback is resoundingly positive. Still shows 6 in queue, if nothing after a week, that is when I would be starting to feel as being ripped off. But yes, if it was more than a throw away $5 (OZb blasphemy that statement) then I would be concerned.

        • tomclancy on 12/05/2014 - 11:54

          Storyteller, please keep us informed tomorrow if it goes through or not. Like I said above I've used this imgigz vendor three times and all is well.

          the $7 offer (for the same service by the dame vendor) has been there for 2 years - I guess some people are happy paying the extra. I've no idea why the vendor has two imgigz listings for the same service at different prices. Much like ebay

        • snuke on 12/05/2014 - 12:37

          So he does, and 97 outstanding orders on the $5 one I used.

        • snuke on 12/05/2014 - 14:20

          Update: Both offers have now being removed

          $5: http://www.imgigz.com/Programming/3635/expand-your-Dropbox-a…

          $7: http://www.imgigz.com/Advertising/3766/expand-your-dropbox-a…

          Clicking on my order which is now marked as COMPLETED, shows two things.
          1: The delivery date has been changed from 11/5/14 to 23/5/14.
          2: This message appears below it “YOUR ORDER IS READY!
          Hi HappySlappyHero, I have completed expanding one of your Dropbox accounts. Thank you very much for your business. If you like my work, please tell your friends about it and help spread the word! Thanks :)"

          I checked DB, and no, I don’t have more space.
          So either they have marked as completed yet are still doing all 103 jobs, so it hasn’t really happened, or they have pissed off with our money.

          I am contacting them now.

          As I submitted my contact, I received an email confirm the completion too.

          Edit: Answered quickly
          "Message: Yes I am already aware of this mistake and I am working on fixing it. This affected all orders between 3647 and 3704. I mistakingly thought my scripts expanded all of the orders, but they didn't even run! After class tomorrow I will work on expanding your account along with everyone else's that didn't receive space. I am very sorry for this mistake. Please wait 24 hours. "

          Not overwhelmed, as per their reply, the script didn't run.
          Seems like it is not a lot of work for them, just collect the referral links, and run the required script.
          Good for him. I looked over the site (should have done before hand) and three are quite a few offering this service or similar for Drop Box.
          Their quick and no doubt honest reply was positive.

        • shadow131 on 13/05/2014 - 00:19

      my dropbox is now 22gb > 2gb free + 3GB Carousel + 1GB Mailbox + 16GB referrals from above link.

      NOTE: for both Carousel and Mailbox, all i did was install the apps via googleplay, linked my dropbox account. Within few minutes got message on desktop that dropbox space increased. Then I uninstalled the apps.

      They aren’t all created equal, some simply to a better job or offer better ways to sync. I have multiple 50GB Box accounts, they don’t get used. Pogo offered unlimited for stupid cheap so I got it. Turned out to be a piss poor sync. Any OS X users that use programs like iPhoto that create folders as sparse bundles that they want sync will struggle with anything but DropBox. All of the others I have tried fragment the bundle and you’re left with a mess that is no longer syncing. DropBox costs more, but it just works, so they can justifiably charge more. I will try Google Drive again and see if they have gotten better.
