What is Dropquest? Dropquest is a multi-step scavenger hunt that has you solve a series of puzzles (inspired by the likes of MIT’s Mystery Hunt or Notpron [though not nearly as time/effort-consuming]). Everyone who completes Dropquest will get at least 1 GB of extra free space, even if you participated last year. Also, everyone starts at the same time, but the questers who finish the soonest get additional amazing prizes.

1st place (1) Dropbox employee hoodie, LIMITED EDITION Dropbox Hack Week t-shirt, Dropbox drawing signed by the entire Dropbox team, invitation to help write the next Dropquest, 100 GB for life
2nd place (10) Dropbox employee hoodie, Dropbox t-shirt, 20 GB for life
3rd place (15) Dropbox t-shirt, 5 GB for life
4th place (50) 2 GB for life
5th place (100) 1 GB for life

Any rules? This year, we won’t tolerate use of our support, forums, or blog for Dropquest hints or answers — our wonderful mods and support team would really appreciate it. In fact, you’ll probably get disqualified if we catch you doing this.

When is it? Dropquest starts Saturday, May 12, at 10AM PST (17:00 GMT). Don’t be late.

No idea how they're going to police the 'no help' policy.

  • Oh wells, let's start discussing here :D

    Feel free to grab a friend (last year’s winners Veronica and Evonne would definitely encourage you to do so!), but just be aware that one key doesn’t fit every door this year…

    Well, you are my friend, aren't you? :p

      Everyone who completes Dropquest will get at least 1 GB of extra free space, even if you participated last year.

      Think of it as a free 1 gig of space for dropbox, with the potential to get more if you are an early customer.

      It's not a competition — everyone who does it gets a free 1 GB.

      I'm trying to love Google Drive, but at the moment, it's buggy as hell.

      • still can't enable drive on my apps account…

  • interesting

  • No idea how they're going to police the 'no help' policy.

    Even more so if the help is posted here or on other sites

    • +1

      our support, forums, or blog

      I read this as they don't want their site being used.
      Any other site is fair game.

      I expect to find the answers here.

  • Thanks Kheob :D

    Not really a bargain and a 100 in 30 million + chance of getting a measly 1gb for life.

    Can someone please explain the actual bargain here.
    Just seems like hard work and a bloody waste of time.

      "Everyone who completes Dropquest will get at least 1 GB of extra free space, even if you participated last year."….

      Wow, that's some hard work indeed.

    "This is a competition not a deal"
    It will be a deal once someone posts all the answers up!

  • Yeah I didn't think it was a competition since everyone who participates will get free space. Oh well.

    • On May 12th someone else will post it again with help steps and it will be the greatest bargain of the week.
      But we'll know where we heard it first.

      • Haha, yeah. Maybe I'll spitefully report it as a dupe :P.

  • Well, we should delete our dropbox links if we posted it here? :p

    • I doubt they would care, but better safe than sorry I guess?

  • this looks great. will there be a thread dedicated to it? i don't want to miss out. someone PM me a link.

    • +1

      I think you're in it.
      If someone starts another forum thread it will be closed anyway.
      (provided this one has more posts at the time.)

  • Wicked, can't wait..

    guide here for anyone who wants to try

    took me about half and hour - scored extra 1gb :D

  • Its a mission, but you do get 1 GB :)

  • Actually spent two hours this morning trying to do it. I came around 900th :P.

    • Was that by yourself? if so that is impressive?

      • +1

        All except the last one :(

    winner, thanks again for the heads up kheob!
    and used the answers @ http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=26018291#po…

  • lot of hate on the dropbox fb group, folks commenting about losing space, not getting space?

  • Awesome, got my 1gb.

  • For people who are wondering, you can still get your 1gig! If you finish the quest before 2nd June. :) Plenty of time. I'm still hanging on to my allocated space no problem..
