    Just got 1GB free Dropbox space and thought you might like it too.

    Go here and enter your phone number
    http://www.mailboxapp.com/appsms/

    You will receive a text message with a download link for Mailbox, the new email app from Dropbox.

    After sign-in you will automatically get 1GB space.

    Mailbox app is available for iPhone, iPad, Android, and Mac.
    Here is the download link for Mac:

    I did that, got my 1gb, then uninstalled. Its not a horrible app but only good for my gmail account, and doesn't cover my other email providers so deleted. Easy way to earn a bit of extra storage though.

    Nice one...thank you. Even 1GB of permanent Dropbox space can be around a tenner on eBay so it's a nice freebie! By the way regarding Dropbox did anyone else notice we still have the Space Race extra space? I thought it was due to expire earlier this month.

    Does this setup a new account or add to your previous balance?

    I logged into Dropbox and realised I somehow have 59gb! I downloaded the app, and unsuccessfully tried to link it to my gmail. I still got the extra 1gb though. Now I've 60gb of Dropbox storage through various offers.

    not sure if this is the right place to post so delete if wrong but OneDrive associated with microsoft and hotmail give you 15GB for free of online storage, with online office apps available for free to use, so create, edit and store powerpoint, word or excel files online. Apps available too for desktops and smartphone for drag/drop saving to onedrive

    Already earned this one apparently :( Checked my account though and I seem to have gotten a 5Gb bonus for "Bonus for using Carousel", so check it out if you haven't already!

    I'm guessing you have a recent enough Galaxy phone, if so and you download Dropbox you get 48gb of free storage.
    I got it on the gf S4 a few weeks ago and used a friends S5 to get it on my account.

    For some reason I only got 1GB bonus when installed Carousel

    UPDATE, I found the reason:
    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.
