I was able to get an extra 20GB in my Dropbox by following the steps below -

1) sign up to Thingiverse
2) once you've signed up and logged in, click on "Explore" and then "Things".
3) randomly choose a thing
4) Click the “Download all Files” button on any Thing page on Thingiverse.
5) Click the “Claim Now” in the modal to claim the offer.
6) Thingiverse will redirect you to the Dropbox authentication page on a separate tab or pop-up.
7) Sign in or create a Dropbox account.
8) Authorize Thingiverse to access your Dropbox account information (It won’t have access to your files or folders)
9) delete your Thingiverse account. The 20GB storage will still remain.

    What happens after 6 months? Do they delete your files?

      The files in your Dropbox are still available on your computers, phones, and dropbox.com even if:

      Your paid account expires
      Your paid account is downgraded
      Your promotional space expires

        I guess you're left with a mostly unusable Dropbox account until you get rid of the excess files. So I don't see how this is really helpful unless you need some space temporarily for large files, e.g. video transfers.

          This is good for people who want to make their Dropbox read only.

            @muncan: …oh yeah…..make multiple accounts and free 20GB storage on each of them…..nice…..

          I recently received an email from Dropbox that my account wasn't accessed/logging in to for a while (2 or more years) and they were warning that the account and files would be removed.

          Just something to note with this service. Thankfully they sent a warning email beforehand.

          • Zachary on 01/02/2019 - 11:27

            @sghetti: …so they do delete files if you don't access your account in two or more years……great just login every couple years to keep alive and you're good to go!

            • sghetti on 01/02/2019 - 11:31

              @Zachary: Just checked, it's if you haven't logged into it in over a year. I got a 30 days warning to take action.

              I wouldn't say this is bad, just a PSA to anyone thinking of setting up additional boxes with different emails addresses (especially if they're addresses they seldom use).

              • Zachary on 02/02/2019 - 19:38

                @sghetti: oh it's one year then? Well then I guess keep reminders on yourself to login to these accounts every year to keep it alive….

      • Meovel on 13/05/2019 - 20:15

        My OneDrive's content is only accessible for 6 month after my promo space expire, after that unless you remove excess data you are not allowed to download the files.

  • Dennis95 on 31/01/2019 - 23:51

    how to delete my Thingiverse account?

    • Taegukgi on 31/01/2019 - 23:52

      Click on settings and it's at the bottom.

  • [Deactivated] on 01/02/2019 - 00:43

    Nothing happen after I click on "Download all files". Is that offer location limited by any chance?

    I just notice MEGA has gimped their 50GB offering for free users now to 15GB and to get back to the original 50GB storage space you need to do some achievements…..

        From your link:

        "Dotcom posted a statement on his website saying that he had information relevant to the investigation into the July 2016 murder of DNC staffer Seth Rich. Seth Rich's family issued a statement calling Dotcom's statements "ridiculous, manipulative, and non-credible."

        What a piece of garbage Dotcom is.

    worked for me thanks op

  • Rumbaar on 01/02/2019 - 08:30

    Got rid of DropBOx as soon as they introduced their 2 computer limit. Shifted to One drive.

    • leeroys_dad on 01/02/2019 - 08:42

      any sign up deals for 20gb plus data with onedrive?

      • lostn on 01/02/2019 - 08:49

        It's very easy to get free OD space.

        I got like 1.5TB.

        I believe basic signups give you 15GB, and if you link your camera roll you get an extra 15GB, so that's 30GB for everyone.

        If you have a Samsung phone they will give you 100. A Seagate portable HDD gets you 200 more, but that deal may have expired. Telstra customers get a bonus 200.

        It's the most generous out of the 3 major ones.

        • kehuehue on 01/02/2019 - 10:11

          Camera roll, Telstra, Seagate offers are expired :(

          I made my account long ago and its still at 5GB

          Will stick with Mega for now

          • lostn on 01/02/2019 - 10:31

            @kehuehue: I still have the Telstra offer. It may be closed to new signups but the storage bonus itself is indefinite.

            Same with my camera roll. I got 15GB for that plus the original 15GB.

            Maybe I'm just grandfathered in. I remember the controversy when they reduced it to 5GB, but those who had used more than 5GB got to keep the 30GB they had, and got a year of Office 365 thrown in for free (comes with 1TB storage).

        • Meovel on 13/05/2019 - 20:11

          Samsung and Seagate promo space have expiry, after that your data exceeding the limit are only accessible for 6 month

    • iOURIveN on 01/02/2019 - 10:02

      https://www.dropbox.com/help/account/computer-limit

      Are they telling the truth for "all account types" or free accounts are an exception?

    • jebdra on 01/02/2019 - 23:02

      Am I missing something here? What 2 computer limit? I've always had at least 6 devices linked and accessing my main Dropbox with no issues.

      • tebbybabes on 03/02/2019 - 14:10

        I'm with you on this one… my drop box syncs with a heap of my devices…

        Maybe @Rumbaar might possible have been thinking of Evernote?

  • djshitu on 01/02/2019 - 08:49

    Thanks. Will come in handy to store songs to play on google home via home assistant.

  • xyron on 01/02/2019 - 11:44

    I tend to stick with OneDrive, seems every time i buy a new phone i get given some 200+ gigs for free for 2 years so have accumulated a fair bit of storage on that platform. It also integrates with windows 10 seamlessly (although to be honest so does dropbox).

    • arctan on 01/02/2019 - 12:17

      That needs to be one of Samsung phone right? Regardless the models?

      • xyron on 02/02/2019 - 12:23

        Possibly, although I got given upgrades from my S9 and my LG G7 recently.

  • tbgoose on 02/02/2019 - 19:35

    Not sure if this is allowed here but I have used this service multiple times without issue. Always worked, still have my referral space years later.

    • Zachary on 02/02/2019 - 19:57

      ….or you can do it yourself for free…..that is if you got friends…..can also do it solo too, for about 3 or 4 times before they block you…..hahahaha….

      • muncan on 02/02/2019 - 20:01

        ha ha ha ha [blocked]

        • Zachary on 04/02/2019 - 15:04

          Yeah that's basically what happened to me…..since I didn't have any friends keen on the service or a way to advertise my referral link that wouldn't make me look spammy….

  • megadeth on 05/02/2019 - 19:13

    I have 1TB+ cloud storage with Degoo.

    • Zachary on 07/02/2019 - 04:23

      oooh 100 GB cloud space, not bad…..but have to login every 2 months or else they will delete your account……and stuff on it……..

      There used to be SurDoc that also offered 100GB free but it's discontinued….

      I guess this is a good site to refer to free cloud storage services….

  • whirlpool_guy on 10/02/2019 - 10:17

    Thanks but no thanks. Self-hosted Nextcloud FTW

    • Diji1 on 27/02/2019 - 02:09

      Usenet works pretty well albeit that there's a 10% or whatever you choose for error correction additional upload. You can fully automate Linux backups to it, trying to do Windows :D

      Five bucks a month for unlimited storage with full speed uploads and downloads. Files deleted after 15 years after upload or whatever the time limit is now, not sure if it stopped going up by one day each day yet.

      Caveat:P anyone can download your files, use very strong password.

  • Diji1 on 27/02/2019 - 02:04

    If you can be bothered there's Chinese dropbox like apps that do 10TB and higher for free. (Unless they've reduced their offerings). Cue the traditional "but it's the Chinese gummints!"

  • curlyone12 on 28/02/2019 - 13:12

    Thanks OP.

    I didn't need to signup to Thingiverse (skipped steps 1-2) and it worked.

    • arctan on 13/05/2019 - 21:23

      What exactly did you do to make it work?

  • Melburnian on 28/08/2019 - 12:59

    Does this offer still work?
    After downloading a Thing, I can't see any 'Claim Now' to click on, and I'm not sure what you mean by 'in the modal'.

  • andrewsant on 07/12/2020 - 12:39

    Does this still work? I just tried and after the download modal, there is nothing on there to claim the offer from Dropbox.
