Far be if for me to advocate or advise any sort of dishonest behaviour. But this http://b4it.tumblr.com/post/2775347938/dropbox-dropquest-2011 seems to offer help on completing each stage. My Dropbox is now 3.3gb!

Burgo · 17-01-2011 9:27pm

Cheers for that, have 3gb now!

markyboy · 17-01-2011 10:14pm

Longest three minutes ever

Thank you OP!

bucks73 · 17-01-2011 10:19pm

Thanks OP.

Redisle · 17-01-2011 11:08pm

Thanks Op! Took more like 20 mins due to a shoddy connection but up to 4gb now so worth it nonetheless!

Looks like a damn hard quiz to complete without cheats!

The Sparrow · 17-01-2011 11:47pm

i'm clearly an idiot but I can't even get past step 1

Edit: Figured it out... 3 gig... thanks OP!

doyler442 · 17-01-2011 11:53pm

Cheers for that.

Just a heads up - if you follow DavidCochrane link, there is a video provided for Step 6, which is putting the world together. Makes it way quicker.

vibe666 · 18-01-2011 12:39am

nice one unklerosco, 1gb of extra space is all mine.

TM · 18-01-2011 12:55am

Thanks OP - got the extra 1GB.

Oracle · 18-01-2011 1:04am

It's great to get some free online storage, but what do people need all this space for?

_Whimsical_ · 18-01-2011 1:12am

There's another free GB by doing these easy tasks(only take 2mins) :

https://www.dropbox.com/free

Also if you go to the "getting started" tab on www.dropbox.com and have completed the easy tasks (ie go through the tutorial and ad a file etc) on that you get 250mb free. Even if you're not new to dropbox you will still get the 250mb by just clicking the "getting started" tab and completing anything that's not crossed off the "to do" list there.

I got about 1.5gb - you get extra storage for each task you complete.

That's brought me up to 4gb. Fantastic.

You'd be amazed at the space you'll use in backing up documents / websites / images etc

You must have a digit wrong somewhere.. it will automatically redirect when it's correct.

Tip: just find the links/urls in the doc then type in the answers provided, your storage will be updated bit by bit. No need to follow a linear process in the doc, Simples;)

Referrals at 250Mb a referral up to 8Gb.
I presume you did the getting started for 250Mb, but did you do complete the other free bits for 625Mb ?
