I use DropBox to share files with NW99XJ. Since we're pushing audio files back and forth the space can be limited.

Now I could always PAY for more space, but damn that means fewer Jeep parts! :D

Anyway if you wouldn't mind signing up for an account at DropBox, even if you never use it, I'll get 500 mb added to my storage.

Just click on this link so I'll get the credit. http://db.tt/DxfnRyN

Now something you might like is you can also load DropBox on your Smartphone and your PC. When you drop files from your phone (or pictures) your PC automatically downloads those pictures!

No thinking involved really!

My wife loves it as she used to fumble with cables and stuff to get those pictures off her smart phone.

Like I said you don't have to use the service for me to get the 500mb credit.

Just click on the :LINK: (http://db.tt/DxfnRyN) and sign up for your free account. Post on this thread when you do and I'll check to make sure it work, and even give an update on how much storage we have now!

Well so far I've received credit for one, which is great, but sounds like I should be seeing lots more!

You guys are clicking on the link in my post, right?

Okay heres the READING part that I don't do very well....

"Once your friend joins and installs Dropbox, you'll both get extra space. Hooray!"

Sorry guys. :smiley-whacky119:

If it makes you feel better, I've installed their software on desktop, laptop, and cell phone, and I haven't had any issues. Used it for over a year now.

It works, its handy and its safe!
Please install the software when you guys get a chance....
There's not enough room in this little drop box for BOTH Tony AND Me!
LOL
Thanks for all the help guys!

BTW, if any of you guys are thinking about being an XJ TALK SHOW! reporter, and sharing some audio interviews, or if you have videos you'd like to have put into an xjtalk youtube video, DropBox is probably how we're going to handle getting the file from you to me.

If you're interested in doing this, get DropBox, tell me, and I'll set you up with a shared folder that you can use. Now to do this we REALLY need people to sign up so xjtalk can get up to the max 16GB of free storage. :rolleye0012:

Hmmm sounds like you already had an account. Or someone set one up using your email address. Nope I'm stumped on that one.

Well this makes it easier to see what's going on!

Hopefully I've blocked out the e-mail addresses well enough to keep people from reading them, but left enough for those of you they belong to recognize it.

That's 4.5GB waiting to be added! Thanks guys!

Looks like it shows mine to be "waiting for install", even though i installed the app when i signed up. Do you think i need to sign in to the account on the app? I just installed it and haven't even looked at it yet.

Yeah no one has "installed" the software from the list yet. Or at least that's what Dropbox says.

If you haven't RUN the software yet, try that and we'll see if that changes the status.

Sorry guys I really didn't think it was going to be this much trouble. If you wish just unsubscribe from this thread and you won't be bothered with thins any more.

Did you run the software and sign into DropBox?

I'm starting to suspect a DropBox scam, like they don't want to give you a bunch of more space quickly.

Those of you who have downloaded and installed the software, may to open the program up, or "take the tour" etc.... Just having it on the computer may not send the credit to The XJ Talk Show. Not saying you have to start dumping a bunch of files into something you're not going to use, but you may have to "sort of" use it at least once....
I'm just guessing here. I dunno.

Digging on their forums...


Referrals are only awarded after a valid installation on a computer. Installations on phones and tablets do not qualify for the referral program.


Each referral must install the desktop client (mobile apps don't count) and the referral status must say Completed before you are awarded the bonus space.

Hi Tony,

[email protected] installed Dropbox after getting your invite. To thank you, we've awarded you 500 MB of bonus space. You now have 4.88 GB on Dropbox!

Thanks!

Like i'm gonna let a little thing like that stop me. ;)

From another of your posts, it probably won't work. Just in case i signed in and uploaded a pic. If i had a computer i'd do it on there, but i don't.

Has anyone else installed, then uploaded a file?

Thanks to everyone for giving it a try. I did find through researching this that it only counts if you install on a PC (Mac also considered a PC) Not a SmartPhone.

I believe they check the IP address that you are using and if you are in the same subnet they don't allow the additional space. Once is plenty! thanks.

I'll have to try it from work then. When I got my new phone a few months ago it came with about 25 gigs of free space on dropbox once I linked my account so I can't use that one, but I think I have an unlinked e-mail address left to make a new one since you only can use referrals for new accounts to get the space you need.

So if you are wondering what's going on here, we are trying to get additional Internet storage space on Dropbox.com. Each referral that signs up, installs the dropbox software on their PC/MAC and uploads a file to the storage, increases the storage for xjtalk by 500MB.

I believe you get addition storage on top of the 2GB they give you for free.

So if you want to help out, just go to http://db.tt/DxfnRyN and sign up, installed and upload!

:thanx:
