Step by step I created on how to maximize free Dropbox storage space.
1) Get referred by a current user - 2.25GB otherwise 2GB if you are NOT referred 2) Complete this Dropquest (stated to end in 2 weeks ie. 1/29/2011) at http://forums.dropbox.com/topic.php?id=30339 - 1GB 3) Complete at least 5 of 6 easy getting started tutorial steps at https://www.dropbox.com/gs - 250MB 4) Complete the tasks at https://www.dropbox.com/free 4a) Connect your Twitter account with Dropbox - 128MB 4b) Connect your Facebook account with Dropbox - 128MB 4c) Follow @Dropbox on Twitter - 128MB 4d) Send a one line comment about why you love Dropbox - 128MB 4e) Tweet about Dropbox for more free space! - 128MB 5) Refer new users who register AND install the Dropbox desktop client - 250MB per referral up to 8GB 6) Link your account to a .edu email address at https://www.dropbox.com/edu - doubles storage referral bonus (retroactively as well) to 500MB per referral up to 16GB
Cheers.

Thanks for the .edu link! I did not know that was there!

Yeah. I tried to do this last night and had that problem. Wondering if this is dead now (maybe only ran for a limited time yesterday evening?).
I did it this morning and it worked. I'm up over 4gb.

Sounds great. Thanks!
For those familiar with this site/program: is the program required to download from the dropbox server as well? or only to upload?

You can download and upload files/folders without the program, but having the program installed will allow you to drag and drop as well as allowing updated files to be uploaded automatically in the background (which is the best feature).

I'd never go through that on my own. Thanks for the hints. The puzzle took me the longest since I had to figure it out myself.

Why not just use box.net? You get 5GB of free space. No games.

Because Dropbox is more than just cloud backup. It syncs to all of your devices and have some awesome features.

Dropbox >> Blox.net. Multiple device syncing and super-easy setup. Great mobile apps too. Plus, they do cool stuff that let's you get more space for free. Congrats to Dropbox on being a great, customer-oriented company.
Thanks OP- up to 3.9 GB for little effort. This will come in handy for transferring my files from work!

I got my 1 GB, but it would be great if someone can explain the puzzles and answers. Until then, I feel I don't deserve the extra space! (I'll keep it, though.)
