All you gotta do is upload some photos/videos from your phone or camera using the new beta version of dropbox.
Doing it via a mobile is a pain (especially with the amount you’d need to upload) so the easiest way to do it is to drag and drop a bunch of photos on to a removable USB drive, set it to autoplay and plug it into your PC. When you plug the drive in, choose ‘auto upload to Dropbox’. Once this begins you will start getting an extra 500mb of free space every time you upload 500mb of pictures/videos (until you reach the 5gb limit).
if you don’t have a dropbox account, you can get one here (comes with 2.25gb of free space to start with but use the method above to get it up to 7.25gb for absolutely free!)
all you have to do is drag and drop ANY random photos onto a removable usb drive. Then just plug the USB drive in, let autoplay start up Dropbox and start uploading the pictures.
For every 500mb you upload, you get an extra 500mb of capacity, for free.
Once you reach the 5GB limit, just delete all the photos (unless you wanna keep them on there of course).
the first two 500mb i got quite fast. but now it wont give me more.. i think i have to upload everything to get all the bonus..
found this here:
Are you absolutely sure about the following:
You have uploaded at least 501MB of videos.
You have uploaded at least 501MB of photos.
Your total upload exceeds 5001MB.
You have used the desktop photo uploader to perform the uploads (and not copy and pasting the content into the Camera Uploads folder)
You have uploaded UNIQUE content. Not re-uploading the same files or trying to trick Dropbox by renaming the files (that is not going to work).
You have waited for all the content to be FULLY UPLOADED to the Dropbox servers. (Simply importing the photos will not work, it needs to be fully uploaded before it counts.)
Dropbox is very particular about the above requirements.
didnt work for me. it said ‘no new pictures added’. i ‘wrote’ a small automater script which turned a good amount of images to the left and renamed them. to put them again on the sd to import. only renaming didnt work
To everyone who wants to get the 5GB easily. Download this dummy-file. It’s 20kb and extracts to 4,3GB. Wird geladen...
@MiL0:
I use it to backup and rough revision control (you can roll back to older states of files) of my Ableton projects, Rekordbox and Traktor-database via hard links.
