Dropbox offering up to 25GB free space for students

Dropbox offering up to 25GB free space for students. Every time a student from your institution creates an account this way it gets 1 point. If you go through the Get Started page, your institution gets 2 points. If you refer someone, you get 500MB for free. The more points your institution earns, the more storage each of the registered members can get, up to 25GB in total for two years.
Dropbox has announced a new program called the Space Race meant for school and university students where you can earn up to 25GB for yourself and your schoolmates while competing against other schools in the program.
To be part of this program, you have to be from one of the eligible educational institutions and have their official email address. Once you create an account with this ID, you automatically get 3GB of space by default for two years. If you already have an account or want to register with some other email address you can but you still have to confirm your school ID with them.  The program lasts for eight weeks and you can try to get as many points as you can by the end of it and see which of the institutions in the end got the most points.

Dropbox app for Galaxy S III with 48GB of free space

The Dropbox app for the Samsung Galaxy S III, which offers 48GB of free cloud storage for all S III owners, has been ported for other devices. This means that you’ll be able to install the dropbox apk from the S III on your device (if it’s rooted), and get some free cloud storage love.
You may recall how HTC had a similar deal for their One series phones, giving you a complimentary 25GB for two years with any new device purchase. Little did they expect that people would simply rip the apk file, and install it on their non-HTC phone to receive the free Dropbox space. While eventually the Dropbox folks managed to track down the false activations and remove their free storage, as of now they still haven’t done so with the Galaxy S III apk.

Dropbox : This time around, however, it’s a bit trickier to beat the system, as you’ll need to have a rooted device, and flash the apk with ClockorkMod recovery. Be sure to remove and previous version of Dropbox from your device beforehand, as well.
Obviously, this is not a legitimate way to gain free space, and Dropbox may construe this as a violation of their ToS. So, if you do decide to take the following steps, you’ve been warned.
 

3GB free Dropbox storage with HTC smartphones

3GB free Dropbox storage with HTC smartphones. HTC and Dropbox have been mum about their deal for additional 3GB of free storage which was promised to come with every HTC device. Yes, according to some reports old HTCs seem to be receiving the free space, too. Well, now with the HTC Rezound being currently available for grabs, the deal with Dropbox has become active.

This is confirmed by user NightAngel79 over at Phandroid forums, who has purchased the Rezound recently. He reports that the Dropbox app doesn’t come preinstalled with the device and the 3GB of free storage become available to your account only when you download the app and sign in with your Dropbox account. So adding the 3GB of the bonus storage with the Dropbox’s default 2GB free space gives all HTC owners a total of 5GB of cloud storage to spare. And if you count the optional extra storage that comes if you hit the referral system hard, you could be seeing your free Dropbox storage soar up to 11GB.
