Default Free Dropbox 25GB with T-Mobile purchase?

I bought the phone but forgot to ask where, how to get my free 25GB on Dropbox. I've installed DB on the phone but it only shows 2.5GB storage... which is how much any schmoe gets.

Anyone know how to activate that?

You log into your dropbox account when setting up the phone or under accounts in the settings menu.

I'm already logged in. It only shows 2.5GB of storage.

After I bought the phone from T-Mobile I used it to create and sign into a new Dropbox account. That account only shows 2.5 GB. So is there something I'm missing? Maybe they've retracted that offer?

Thanks! That was it. I had used a throwaway email account to register, so I may have never found my 25GB if I hadn't asked.

you need to fill out some questions. When you first log on with your phone. it tells you what the site is. www.dropbox.com/freespace of something like that...
