My attempts to reclaim space.

I have been semi successful in that I can still create a new 50GB dropbox with a different e-mail address, however am unable to sign in with an existing account. When I attempt to login with an existing user I experience "Incorrect email or password" even though I have double/triple checked that I am entering the correct credentials. In the past both new and existing accounts would be able to receive the upgrade on a "factory reset" device.

I did not use Titanium Backup Pro to alter the AndroidID, it may have been used to track duplicate occurances as other people I have applied the upgrade for have also been affected in that the 48GB upgrade has mysterically disappeared. It had not ran out, there was many months remaining before the expiry in both instances.

Seems Dropbox are all over those accounts whereby the amount has been claimed more then once. The push seems to coincide with the launch of their 1TB service. I will continue my hunt for alternative APKs and be sure to create a new AndroidID before each further attempt.

Edit : It will sign in an existing account if two factor authentication is turned off, awaiting results...
[Galaxy 3 Themes and Apps] funkyblue04:
I lost my space as well.

If anyone finds a work around it would be greatly appreciated.

I still wonder why has no one come out with a TRUE Dropbox Competitor?

One that syncs date modified and can re-scan an already downloaded folder...
[Galaxy 3 Themes and Apps] m1trand1r:
guyz....i'm 2nd poster in this thread.....I used it as stated in.my post on 1st page....and I still have 50Gb of storage on same dropbox account that i'm using since day 1.....so.....go figure what dropbox missed in my case lol:D
[Galaxy 3 Themes and Apps] Antieco:
I'll just go to a samsung store, log into my Dropbox on a test galaxy s5 and voilà
[Galaxy 3 Themes and Apps] Futurian:
I've attempted the origional zip again, I experience a prompt insisting that Dropbox must be updated in order to continue.

:good::fingers-crossed::D
[Galaxy 3 Themes and Apps] GoJo ^^:
Strange you get that message, I get update notifications but I'm not forced..
[Galaxy 3 Themes and Apps] donis:
Did the same action with 3 different S5 but no result. (
[Galaxy 3 Themes and Apps] GoJo ^^:
Of course, someone probably did it before. Thinking this would've worked is like believing in santa.. -.-
[Galaxy 3 Themes and Apps] cyberbeam:
my 50 gigs are gone now, back to 2,75gig... but the 13gig i already uploaded are still there :D
[Galaxy 3 Themes and Apps] nuno_p:
Tried now with a nexus 7 2012 and i received the 48GB of storage. :D

Thanks a lot.
[Galaxy 3 Themes and Apps] m1trand1r:
Let's see......for how long it'll last:p:p
[Galaxy 3 Themes and Apps] nuno_p:
It isn't 2 years?
[Galaxy 3 Themes and Apps] m1trand1r:
read above.....some lost 50 gigs before 2 year time period ran out[emoji33] ....
[Galaxy 3 Themes and Apps] donis:
Did the trick with s5 from store, all steps:

-Open the Dropbox app - Click Menu -> Settings -> Sign out from Dropbox

- Go to your phone's main Settings application

- Tap on 'Apps' and then locate the Dropbox app

- Choose the option to Uninstall Updates

- Shut down your phone. Make sure your device is completely powered off for five minutes

- Power on your device

- Reopen the Dropbox app

- Reenter your Dropbox account details when prompted.

Donis, thanks for the post.

I tried this and it worked for me. I just used an alternate email to re-sign up with.

Woah~! Finally get the 48GB free storage. Previously I keep can't login with my account, after realize my dropbox is enabled the two steps authentication. Disabled it and login to the dropbox and voila~ 48gb come in few minnutes! Remember to enabled your two steps authentication after get the free storage!

[Galaxy 3 Themes and Apps] ichbinshier:
ich works fine

first i tried it on my "old" account which had an ended (legal) samsung 50gb bonus, but it didnt work

then i tried it with a new account and IT WORKS!

You get a mail after a few minutes and then must do few things and then you have it!

I tried it on a Nexus 7 (first edition) with a rom installed.
[Galaxy 3 Themes and Apps] sonics007:
3) Flash the dropbox_cwm.zip from above link or you can extract that zip and manually copy the files and set permissions.

how to do it? also i cant find dropbox folder on my s2mini
[Galaxy 3 Themes and Apps] ichbinshier:

[Galaxy 3 Themes and Apps] Redowan17:
It works

I don't care if it's legal or not.The amount of space db gives is ridiculous compared to others but no other cloud service has this much integration with other apps......

One drive gives you 30gb free but it doesn't have half as much integration with other apps like calender,gmail,evernote etc.So for me its legit......... .

This is a lot of effort to get 50 Gigs online storage. Why not use MEGA (https://mega.nz/) instead? A free account gives you 50 Gigs online storage and it's more secure than Dropbox. Also, no hacks needed.

[Galaxy 3 Themes and Apps] trertt:
..

Worked on my Jiyau G3 couple weeks ago but not for long. I use dropbox to sync my phone, tablet and PC.

This trick i made only on the phone, maybe i should do this on tablet too? Cause yestarday i noticed that i have only 12% free space of 2gb.

Glad i didn't put in dropbox smth important.

Maybe there are other tricks to have free space?
[Galaxy 3 Themes and Apps] asdfasdfvful:
I've also been referred to COPY. It misses the favorite feature but has a nice UI for upload and comes with 15GB of storage
[Galaxy 3 Themes and Apps] erisnake:
Hi

This trick worked only for 15 days for me.

I haven't done anything special apart from uninstalling Dropbox from one of my computers.

So it's definitely not a sustainable solution :)

my 2 cents
[Galaxy 3 Themes and Apps] senpaidev:
I did it long time ago. Probably when d trick came out. But so far I have not lost d space. It still shows 52.8gb on my iPod. And i have since used up more dan 10gb in it. Dunno y its failing for u guys. Maybe some1 will have to port d dropbox files for upg from s4 or one x or oders dat give d free space.
[Galaxy 3 Themes and Apps] shelldrake:

[Galaxy 3 Themes and Apps] shelldrake:
ok...TYVM for clarification
[Galaxy 3 Themes and Apps] breakingspell:
Just chiming in, I did this trick on mine and my mom's Dropbox accounts last year, and we still have our data (until October 2014). The trick is to use a program like Titanium Backup to scramble your Android ID before installing the modified Dropbox apk, and then randomize it again after you remove the apk. Otherwise, the Dropbox server will eventually pick up that the space allocated to your "Galaxy SIII" isn't in fact genuine. With a randomized ID, they have no way of knowing that you don't own one.

Oh and, so if I do it for someone else on my phone and start using my account again it will work?
[Galaxy 3 Themes and Apps] fone_fanatic:
I just did it on my nexus 4 and got the extra 48GB, but after reading other comments it looks like it will be taken away soon :(.

When randomizing the ID, will any other apps be affected? I see an option to restore ID from backup but can't find a place to backup the ID.
[Galaxy 3 Themes and Apps] liberty35:
Awesome Let me try and Let you know if I struck any where
[Galaxy 3 Themes and Apps] breakingspell:
What i did was randomize the ID before installing the dropbox app, and restoring it from the backup afterwards. To my knowledge, this ID is to identify your device for in-app purchases, and there's probably other uses as well.
[Galaxy 3 Themes and Apps] Logic_:
So I did this trick on November 25 and the space is gone now... Too bad I can't link it to my account anymore after one try, right?

I'd like to try and confirm the random ID trick.
[Galaxy 3 Themes and Apps] panaiz:
i did the trick and now i got 50GB free space for 2 years, cheers mate.

i changed android ID and then i install your .apk and flash the zip file, and then i got the bonus.

after that i change back the android ID to the original one, do i have to uninstall your .apk too and install it again from play store? or is not necessary?
[Galaxy 3 Themes and Apps] fone_fanatic:
I got an email today telling me my space has expired. Funny that it was the space when I did the HTC hack before this but it also took away the space I got through this. I just tried it again with a new android ID and it did not give me any space. So I'm back to 10gb :(

When your space expires, it doesn't delete anything, just does not let you upload anymore.

Edit: attaching screenshot of the email I got.

Guess its G+ uploads for now, I hate havening things in different locations :/
[Galaxy 3 Themes and Apps] Logic_:
I can confirm that this doesn't work after the first attempt. Not even with a new android ID. You get one bonus per account, if it gets removed, tough ****
