When I do invites to spam addresses and run them in my VM the invite status goes to 'ineligible'. It must be smart enough to know that I have it already installed in a number of machines in the same network.

It's most likely possible that it's using your hosts ip as it's own. I did mine at work with dhcp addressing so they all had their own ips.

So in a nutshell what do I have to do?

Can't seem to get autoplay to "play" my iPhone.

How can I get my virtualbox VM to appear to be a different machine than the host?

I'm getting an error when the autoplay window loads up and I click on Dropbox.

Code:

Woop, just maxed out my referral limit. Account now sitting at 23.88GB :cool:

Has anybody come across any other things like this where you can earn extra space from them or is this a first?

You must pay for some of that?

Any ideas what im doing wrong, have the beta version installed on my PC, I currently have only 2.5gb, trying to upload 5gb of pictures and movies and it now says out of space? :/ (capped at 2.5gb)

Luke · 27 Feb 2012 at 12:18

Are you doing it via the autoload dialogue when you plug in your media?

I'm sure I saw that the beta is now an official version. Which likely means the offer for free space for testing is no longer available.

Borsch · 27 Feb 2012 at 13:15

Are there any other free alternatives there which let you upload by folder and not file by file?

Borden · 27 Feb 2012 at 18:17

How do you mean? If you copy a whole folder into your Dropbox folder it will upload the lot.

PiKe · 28 Feb 2012 at 14:00

This 'trick' still work as the forum thread was 3 weeks ago now?

PiKe · 9 Jul 2012 at 10:35

You can get a few hundred meg from doing the tasks on the https://www.dropbox.com/getspace page, things like linking twitter, facebook give you 125MB each.

oxygene · 9 Jul 2012 at 10:37

Holy thread update batman!
Lol I got all the extra space when it came out but have encountered one annoying problem. I share my dropbox (10gb) with my mates and family. But they cant use anything over their allowance. If I fill it up past their few gb they cant add anything to it even though I have 10gb and its my dropbox. Its weird and unexpected, so beware.

DefiantAsh · 9 Jul 2012 at 10:49

I think I got to 4.65gb and stopped

Rarely use it anyway.

Gavin · 9 Jul 2012 at 11:00

so there is no way to get this extra space now then>?

PiKe · 9 Jul 2012 at 11:10

I don't know if using the experimental versions still gives you a bonus or not.

Uploading photo's still nets you additional space as far as I know.

Gavin · 9 Jul 2012 at 11:36

how does that work?

PiKe · 9 Jul 2012 at 11:37

Plug a camera in and let it automatically upload them to your dropbox.

Download the BETA build if you can find it, copy and paste 5GB worth of photos onto an SD card.

Remove SD Card, turn dropbox on, plug in SD Card and an interface will appear.

One choice should be, or be along the lines of, upload photos to dropbox.

Should work

if not just wait for the next code/hack session thing they do where you can follow certain steps and win storage and stuff
