I lost my 50gb from dropbox. Did anyone else lose theirs?

From S3 promo? I still have mine. Not sure what you mean "if Dropbox caught on to it." It was a promo offered by Samsung/Dropbox, so I'm pretty sure Dropbox was aware of it.

If you log into your Dropbox account, click your name in the top right, click settings, and then click the Bonus Space tab, you can see everything that has affected your space there.

Not all the carriers (AT&T, and Verizon didn't iirc) signed on for the Dropbox promo, so the K00l Kiddies tried a dumb "hack" to get the 50G that dropbox can take back whenever they want. (they've taken it back before).

Ah, I see. Well OP didn't mention that. Thanks for the heads up.

I never bothered with it as I have 50gb from Box when I bought my Touchpad. Was Leary of trying to jerk the system as I had a few people I know lose all their stored data when drop box caught em.

I am pretty sure they caught onto it. The same thing happened with the HTC promotion that offered dropbox space. Someone extracted the Dropbox APK and hacked it to work on any phone thereby giving you the promo space. A few months later everyone who used it had the space removed. Its very possible that they caught onto it. Diet ICS was/is based off the Rogers stock so by installing it, you'd get the 50GB of space inadvertantly since Rogers SGS3 was valid for the 50GB promo.

Dropbox must have found a way to determine what phone you actually have based on your IMEI possibly and removing the space like they did for the HTC hack

That sucks. I lost mine as well. I also got it using DietICS. Oh well I guess. I will have to figure out how to get more space.

Sorry about that... Just assumed everyone would know because it was posted on the at&t section of the s3.

The ATT section is also the bell, rogers and telus section. read the line at the top of the page under the portal button.
