Box.com has a promotion where they offer 50GB of cloud storage (with no expiry date, unlike Dropbox) to users who buy an LG Android device.

Plus the upload size limit is terrible! Something like you can only upload 100mb files!
There aren't many providers who offer large amounts of storage for free. I for one don't mind the upload limit.
Been using box for about 3 months now and I've had no issues with it. It has a decent android app too.
Plus, Titanium Backup Pro syncs directly to Box. Good way to keep a backup of your apps (Which don't usually exceed 100mb)
Thanks now I got 50gb of storage
Nice!
Just installed on my Nexus 4 and sure enough, upgraded to 50GB.
Thanks for the heads up.

Wow....that is awesome! Thanks for posting that!

Box can give me 4343345 GB of storage but with the 100mb upload size limit I still won't use it.
Nice find tho, I had no idea.
I already have 50 free gigs from an Android promotion awhile ago. So it would be pretty sweet if I had the Nexus 4, so I could attempt to see if they would upgrade my account to 100gigs
A "friend of mine" did this on an LG display phone in a carrier store and it worked in upgrading his account no matter what phone he used. Login once from am LG phone and the 50GBs are yours. This of course was over a year ago. They could have fixed that by now.

Yea but to my knowledge in order to get the desktop client you will need to upgrade which isn't free.
I didn't use Box before, went ahead and signed up on my G2x. Thanks for the tip. Between Box, Dropbox, Skydrive, and Drive, I don't think I should have any storage woes. Ever.
Thanks
Sometimes it seems like Google is kicking itself in the shins... If they want to promote a product with their device, it bewilders me why they wouldn't give away Drive space

Just got this email thought I would pass it along to you guys. Works great.
Even though the holidays have passed, we're really stoked to give you one more present -- a new experimental release! Under the wrapping you'll find a bunch of new toys, including a brand new Camera Upload feature. Here the new stuff:
• Automatically uploads photos and videos in the background using Wi-Fi or a data plan
• 500MB of free space on first photo uploaded automatically
• Upload files of any size (no more 180 MB limit!)
• Support for resuming file uploads when there are network issues
• Various performance improvements & bug fixes
During this beta period, we are also offering additional free space to test automatic uploading of photos and videos. For every 500MB of photos and videos automatically uploaded, you'll receive another 500MB space bonus, up to 5GB total (including the initial 500MB space).
Grab it here:

Is this 5GB you can get on top of the referral limit, or are they from the same limit?

On top of!
Android Police article
But wait, that's not all! During the beta period you can rack up some more free storage. The first sync gives you an instant 500MB bump, and for every 500MB of photos and videos you upload automatically, you'll receive an additional 500MB of free storage, up to 4.5 more gigabytes. That's 5GB just to help test out the new Dropbox, all for free.
I should also mention that this free space isn't separate from any free space you may have earned from the desktop client beta they announced yesterday.
What are you waiting for? Click or scan the QR code below to grab the experimental release APK. Who knows how long the beta will last...

Lmao, nice! I tried deleting my uploaded pics from Dropbox and reuploading them but it seems to be too smart for that. Or dumb. It won't upload the same ones twice.
I have bumped from 2 to 5 gigs. Thanks for the info
There seems to be a stop at 5 gigs for this method. I bumped from 2 to 7 gigs, and it seems to have stopped. Best method is to start the camera with filming and just leave it at that. When it stops start recording again. ~20 min gives 500 mb more
I only got my 1st 500mb
If go on my computer and upload there will I get it?

I'm hoping that when those 4.0 Sense devices come out with their 50GB of Drop box space there'll be a buildprop hack so we can all upgrade. I've already got 2 Box.net accounts with 50GB each and a Bitcasa account but Dropbox is just so much more functional.

No you need to use the auto upload feature, ie you need to take enough videos/pictures to fill up 500MB, the first 500MB is from first upload though

Old news, but thanks.
Check out bitcasa. Box is great, Dropbox used to be...but bitcasa smokes them both with UNLIMITED online storage.
Dropbox ftw!
I really like dropbox, but thanks - i'll check it out
Since yesterday I'm a proud owner of a One. It cost some time, but now I'm done with the first overall settings. However, despite I have also set the camera upload and the HTC backup on Dropbox, I haven't got the promised 25 GB of extra storage on my Dropbox account.
Anybody having noticed the same or an idea what I made wrong?

did you already have +25gb from HTC?
i got it from my previous phone and still have it
I got the additional 25GB, and also have an additional 50GB (also for 2 yrs) from being a Samsung user, so I have a lot of storage available to me at the moment!
Thx for the replies, but the answer is, apparently much simpler than thought: Whereas on the U.S. help pages of Dropbox it is already announced that Sense 5.0 phones (and those with Sense 4 and 4+) are eligible for additional 23 GB of storage, the equal German site still lacks the mentioning of Sense 5.0.
Apparently, Dropbox Germany is even slover with the updating of their services than HTC with their deliveries of the One... :crying:
Simple, but I'm curious!
I personally use Google Drive, simply because I was given 100gb storage free for 2 years, I do not currently pay for any storage.
Also - If you don't mind sharing, please mention if you pay for storage, and how much total storage you have available with your preferred storageprovider.
OneDrive, I prefer Microsoft services when possible. Got free one year of office 365 with a Windows 8.1 tablet, so I think I have unlimited storage. Use about 30gb
Google Drive for shared documents and backing up the stuff I can't afford to lose (i had about 18 copied of my graduation paper on there). Just the basic free amount.
Dropbox for files I share that aren't editable documents. Got 50GB free with my TF700T a few years ago, and again with my NotePro 12.2.
But for backup? I never use a cloud, always a harddrive. (or 6)
Cloud is useless once you start dealing with 2GB+ photoshop files. My total backup storage at present is 8TB. No cloud offers me that.

8TB!!!!!!! I would make a joke about, well you know, but it sounds more likely you just downloaded the entire internet.
Cloud storage? What is this thing you call "cloud storage?" Back in my day we stored our files in boxes! My favorite are the ones you get behind the dumpster.

Hm, no, that's about 8 Exabyte. Wish I had that much storage...
It's mainly films, games, photographs and design resources.
I kid you not, my design resources folder (which doesn't include stuff I actually made with them) is about 800GB.
Let's not get started on RAWfiles.. I've got a 70D, which means my RAWfiles are a minimum of 40MB. Per photo. I've got almost 2TB worth of photos.
The films and games, well... The average game these days is 20GB, and a Bluray film is about 50GB.
I'm a bit of a digital hoarder :laugh::laugh::laugh:
I used google drive.
I sometimes use Dropbox for larger files.
OneDrive (Thanks MSFT for 200GB of space for free, but everyday have to use junk Bing), Google Drive (love them because I can set permission for the file I need to keep them secret, for academic purpose )
Mine was Google Drive, and also use MI CLOUD for Mobile data Auto SYNC. xD
OneDrive is the best for me. Simple and easy to use
I don't really consider about space, because i rarely put a huge file on my cloud
google drive is the best.
I use dropbox for the automatic photo backup and for share direct links of images.
For personal use like also big files, i use Drive.
Google Drive. I used to use Dropbox before I switched over (wanted to keep all my things on one platform).
Google Drive , Dropbox , OneDrive ?
Mega.It´s give you 50GB for free
We are supposed to get 100gb free space w phone. I installed the app and created account. It only showed me 15gb free space for setting account. How do I view if I got the 100gb additional space? It does not show your total space in app.

Same issue here, I submitted a support ticket through One Drive and waiting to hear back.
AT&T removed the stock OneDrive app that comes with the bonus storage. Presumably because they have the competing Locker app preinstalled.

Ok, I found the one drive app inside the Samsung app market. The ATT locker only gives you 5gb vs standard one drive app gives you 15gb free. Hopefully there will be a fix.

I think AT&T are intentionally restricting you. The fix is for you to purchase ATT Lockers extended storage and pay them monthly for it.

I wonder if we can get the OneDrive APK from the international S6 or T-Mobile/Sprint/Verizon and install it and see if we get prompted since the AT&T S6 doesn't come with OneDrive installed at all.

This is the T-Mobile .apk for OneDrive: https://mega.co.nz/#!80hShCoD!u_T1kLudQ1E1P-uFxekm-aDtKnUJ1q_vTr3mfzeliMY
I couldn't get it to install when I tried running it. It just says "App not installed." Maybe there's a trick to it someone can figure out.
Official response from MS Support.
Hi. My name is Dan Crevier and I'm an engineer on the OneDrive team. Sorry to hear you are having trouble with the free Samsung storage. It is only available for devices that have OneDrive preinstalled. Some carriers are not including OneDrive. Could that be the case for you. If not, you might double check your storage at https://onedrive.live.com/options/ManageStorage to see if it has shown up.
I hope this helps.

Comment: Just got the galaxy s6 and i am not getting the 100gb offer.
If you have any other questions or comments, please reply to this message.
Sincerely,
The OneDrive Team
This is a partnership between Samsung and Microsoft, not between the carrier and Microsoft. I don't see what the problem is, neither parties involved had any idea that this would be impacted by the carrier removing the app. When I spoke to all three parties they assumed that downloading it would fix the issue. I think the only way anything will be done is if people speak up and communicate to Microsoft, Samsung, and the carrier. Surely ATT can push an update that would have the missing One Note APK.
I just installed an update from Play Store to OneDrive, rebooted and had a notification for the 100GB for 2 years offer. Confirmed camera backup was on, and now I'm sitting at 140GB total.
