Thought I'd revive 2 old posts for the benefit of those that aren't aware of them. 4GB isn't much, but hey, it's free. Once you've claimed the bonus, apps can be deleted without losing the additional storage.

Claim extra 3GB free

  • Carousel instructions here
  • Carousel iOS app here
  • Carousel Androis app here

Claim extra 1GB free

  • Mailbox instructions here
  • Mailbox iOS app here
  • Mailbox Android app here

Note: The Carousel bonus replaces the Camera Upload bonus that was offered with the Dropbox app. If you’ve already received the full bonus space from using Camera Upload, it can’t be credited again. You can check if you’ve received the bonus space in your account settings.

Referral Links

Referral: random (429)

Both referrer and referee will receive 500MB bonus space (up to a limit of 16GB)

      Cheers. I just created a 'fake' account via the Carousel app. Gives you 2GB on signup. Trick is to then select a photo and attempt to add it to the cloud. It won't let you until you verify your email address. Tap the verify button, and you'll receive an email. Click the email link, check back in your settings, and you should have 5GB storage. Delete the app, and retain the freebie.

      • tsunamisurfer on 16/01/2015 - 13:46

        So what about the account that I currently have fromt he last attempt?

        Do I need to lose that or can I somehow get the extra 3 gb into it?

        • tightarse on 16/01/2015 - 13:48

          If you haven't already received the extra 3GB, there's no reason you shouldn't be able to claim it now. But you can only claim it once.

      • jaybmate on 16/01/2015 - 15:38

        This an extra 2GB in addition to the Gigs in the post above?

    If you search 'Dropbox' the old deals are still there and not expired. https://www.ozbargain.com.au/deals/dropbox.com

    So not sure why we need a new post to remind people that cannot use the website to do a basic search.

      I for one am grateful for my internet overlords…

      Was about to lose my samsung 48GB bonus so I'm grateful to tightarse for bringing this to my attention

    • gilbarc on 16/01/2015 - 14:15

      Older than six months.

        Cool a new rule. I guess I better start posting deals that are older than six months from this list https://www.ozbargain.com.au/deals/longrunning for the benefit of those that aren't aware of them.

          If it's a deal that's still valid, and you think there are enough people who don't know about it, go for it.

  • Grandpipe on 16/01/2015 - 13:44

    sploosh.

    Wasnt aware and just got carousel and received 3GB for the app and 250M for "Getting Started on Mobile".
    Almost doubled my dropbox size. Thanks.

    Carousel is actually really good and worth keeping on your phone.

    I installed Carousel Version 1.8 using my DropBox account and my storage space went up from 4GB to 55.2GB! 56.25GB after installing Mailbox, found out why it's because of Samsung! Thanks Samsung.. Samsung + Dropbox Samsung promotion (expires 16/1/2017) 7 mins ago 48 GB

      Uninstall and try again. Make sure you enter your Dropbox email address & password when asked.

      • tightarse on 16/01/2015 - 20:13

        Hi sysplex. Please PM me if you get a chance. Your messaging is currently disabled, and I have no way of contacting you. Thanks :)

  • [Deactivated] on 16/01/2015 - 15:13

    I installed both and got the extra space.

    Deleted the Mailbox app due to all the negative reviews on the App Store.

    Depending on how the Carousel app goes will determine the same.

    I still can't believe they'd give you extra space and let you keep it even though you delete the app. Surely they know this or they figure that most people won't care.

    Thanks for the post.

    • Frozensage on 16/01/2015 - 17:12

      Not everyone install and delete the app straight away. I actually think carousel is pretty snazzy. Without this promo I would have never bothered installing it to try. It's like when Coles offering half price on ice cream. It's call loss leader pricing.

  • johnnyb on 16/01/2015 - 15:16

    Was getting messages to increase my space, then this comes along.

    Ozbargain to the rescue again. Thanks.

  • Laurana on 16/01/2015 - 15:38

  • figarow on 16/01/2015 - 21:47

    This is gr great been meaning to get a drop box.

    Best way I've seen to get extra Dropbox space was to take advantage of the referral bonuses as there are many people selling this service online for only a few dollars. I've got 25.8GB for life via referrals and a few of the upload photos/link apps offers.

  • rbaraz on 16/01/2015 - 23:02

    only got 1 gb from each offering. weird but thanks op

  • Chimpus on 16/01/2015 - 23:33

    I used this guide to max out my referral bonuses (16 gb) for free.

    Yes I could have paid for a service that will do the same thing but it only took me a little over an hour to do it…whilst refreshing Ozbargain in the background…

  • neonlight on 17/01/2015 - 09:04

    Mailbox didn't work even though I signed in as Dropbox account. Don't know why. Do you need to add an email account?

  • blueflask on 17/01/2015 - 10:29

    Thanks heaps, worked perfectly, just in time too - my 48GB from having a Samsung phone expires next week!

  • jeeg on 17/01/2015 - 10:59

    I received 3GB + 1GB (via carousel and mailbox app) about 8 months ago. If I uninstall both apps from my iPad and try again…will I get another 4GB?

    • tianyujojo on 17/01/2015 - 11:04

      I got 3GB via carousel about 1 year ago and uninstalled it. I just tried install carousel again, no another 3GB added.

      • jeeg on 17/01/2015 - 17:10

        Thanks mate.

  • veej on 17/01/2015 - 11:46

    I just jumped from 3.5GB to 5GB. Free space is free space.

  • [Deactivated] on 19/01/2015 - 10:22

    thanks for that I also just realised that I was eligible for free 48gb for 2 years due to a Samsung tablet purchase so thanks for that so signed up now have to remember another password and login combination

    • asx100 on 11/02/2015 - 10:49

      Any link to the Samsung 48G offer please? I forgot to claim as well. Thanks

  • gerrys on 09/02/2015 - 17:33

    Thanks TA!

  • angelkulit025 on 11/02/2015 - 10:59

    it says that the Samsung promotion (expires 17/8/2015) so what will happen on the 48gb that you have used up? will it just disappear into thin air?
