50Gb Dropbox Upgrade Free Promotion
- Thread starter Code4U
- Start date
just want to ask if this trick will on on your account even if you already did this 2 years ago? my space will expire 20 days from now. any idea?
Anyone know how Dropbox tracks your specific device?
What I mean is if you follow the instructions and setup your account and get the free 48GB account and then completely wipe all Dropbox files and data from your phone, they can still identify your phone has used the promo to get the 48gb.
I wiped everything, followed all the steps again in order and even changed my device id and IMEI temporarily and tried to do it with a 2nd account. No luck! Some how they have record of some unique identifier that recognizes you device has redeemed the 48gb promo once already.
Could it be ip or Mac address?

100 GB Free 2 Years For OneDrive
Sorry to hijack this thread, but I found a similar hack for OneDrive. For those who don't know, OneDrive is Microsoft's cloud storage (like Dropbox, Google Drive, or iCloud), if you have any Microsoft account (if not, it's free) you can set up your OneDrive, it's basically a free 15 GB of cloud storage. With this thread I'm going to link to, you can put an additional 100 GB on your OneDrive (albeit for 2 years only). It boils down to this:
1) Uninstall the OneDrive app if it's already installed
2) Download the zip in the thread to your phone, extract, and move the folder to /system/app/ with a root-enabled file explorer (ES File Explorer and Root Browser have always worked for me)
3) Set the folder's permissions to rwxr-xr-x (0755) and the apk file's permissions to rw-r--r-- (0644)
4) Reboot and start the app, login and it should prompt you about the 100 GB promotion, obviously accept. This means you'll have to turn on camera upload (so preferably do this on Wi-Fi) but as soon as you get the quota increased toast notification, you can turn camera upload off again without issue

For what it's worth this worked both on my Galaxy S4 Active (SGH-I537), Galaxy Tab 4 (SM-T530NU) and my Galaxy S5 (SM-G900T), the latter two being on CyanogenMod 13, testing multiple OneDrive accounts. Also I'm not a paid schill or anything like that, just a cloud storage enthusiast.
