    Dropbox is giving away free space to UCD students!

    The more students who go on and verify their UCD emails, the more space everyone in UCD gets. It's a team game. The main catch unfortunately is that the free space only lasts for 2 years, but still it's better than nothing!

    If you have Dropbox already click this link and verify your UCD email, if you haven't been converted to how handy Dropbox is for saving files in the cloud then click the link as well and get extra free space for the referral:

    I now have 64 gigs of drop box space. Which is slightly ridiculous.

    79.12 :D Apparently i'm using 10.9% of that, i think most is probably camera uploads.

    As I was writing this UCD just went to 8GB free!

    Man, and I thought what my 17GB was impressive. How in the hell did you guys manage that?

    I've 48 for 2 years with my phone, 8 from ucd now, 3 from camera uploads and a couple of gb from dropbox quests.

    I also maxed out my referrals by getting a Google adwords voucher and running a cloud hosting ad campaign with my referral link :D

    Yeah I'm on 34GB now, which is also slightly ridiculous! Shame this extra space is only for two years!

    Yeah same as above, Samsung smart phones seem to come with a pretty long voucher. I use dropbox quite a lot, I think I have 22 gigs of photos on it.

    Bumping this.. remember if enough people join we can get 25GB free space.

    We are close to 15GB free space. Guaranteed 8GB at the moment

    Use the OP`s link or mine and we will get bonus space too :)

    Wahey, just hit 15GB. Thanks and congratulations to everybody.

    Anyone know how long this is going for?

    2 years I believe. Though I think we lose our connect accounts shortly after graduating.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 8,880 ✭✭✭Raphael


    Yeah, but you can have the dropbox account linked to any email address, and just validate the ucd one.

    What I was actually asking, and apparently wasn't clear about, is how much longer the space race event is going on for.

    We can keep gathering points until December 10, 2012 at 10:00 a.m. PT. All the details are here if you're interested.

    Pretty cool how much free space it's giving though!

    Store all your files online and access them anywhere. Very handy.

    Desktop application makes things even easier.

    15GB of free space for UCD students..this could go up to 25gb if we get enough people.

    This offer is ending in the next week or so for students. Sign up for 18GB of free online storage. (Usually only 3GB)

    Which means you can access your files anywhere. In college, in the jungle, the outback, or wherever you can get internet! Link below

    Sort of unrelated, but interesting all the same - Dropbox are locating their HQ in Dublin. :)

    I got an email on Tuesday 4th December to say there was only one week left to get your 18GB of free memory (its normally only 3GB!!).

    Can`t remember if you need your student email but if you do you can change it to use whatever email you like straight afterwords.

    FREE SPACE FOR ALL YOUR IMPORTANT FILES!!!

    Which you can access anywhere in the world with an internet connection.

    VERY HANDY FOR AUTOMATICALLY SYNCHING PHOTOS FROM SMARTPHONES TO YOUR DESKTOP!!


    So get it today, or before Tuesday..(maybe Tuesday 11th at the latest!)

    Thanks for the reminder, I forgot about it! Myself and a few others here just got the extra space so it's still working.


  • Registered Users Posts: 168 ✭✭RayCarley


    Looks like we won't be reaching the full 25GB free... still need over 1800 points. We can't really complain about getting 15GB free though!
