Get your dropbox account to a total of 21.8 GB for free!

If you haven’t got a dropbox account already:
Main: Dropbox.com
refferal: http://db.tt/1QfAS6K (Use this if you learned something/I helped you)

1.
Requirements: Dropbox account.
link: https://www.dropbox.com/gs
extra space: 250 MB

This is the most obvious one. Just complete the simple tasks on this page.

2.
Requirements: db acc, twitter acc, facebook acc.
link: https://www.dropbox.com/free
extra space: 625 MB

Complete the tasks on this page to get 625 mb more. You can always delete the tweets/updates on your facebook/twitter if you don’t want to mess it up or you can use an alternate account for this.

3. Requirments: db acc, usb-stick/camera/iDevice/Android device, 2.5 GB of videos/photos
link: https://www.dropbox.com/help/287/en
extra space: 3 GB

Put 2.5 GB of pictures and/or videos on something with storage on it (one of the above) and make sure you have the dropbox desktop application installed. Unplug your device (with the 2.5 GB of files on it) and plug it back in. Dropbox will detect pictures and videos on it and notify you that it can synchronize these automagically, allow dropbox to do that. When the first picture/video is uploaded you will get an instant 500 MB for free and after each 500 MB of uploaded media you will get 500 MB extra space in your dropbox totalling 3 GB of free space (Permanent). Just remove the pictures and videos and there is your free space.

Now you have 5.8 GB of free space in your dropbox

4. Requirments: db acc, this iso: http://goo.gl/VCT7v, Virtualbox, http://goo.gl/bpK4p
Extra space: 16GB
First you will need to make a virtual machine in virtualbox using the ubuntu iso you downloaded. When you boot the ubuntu cd (virtually) and you are on the first window of the installation press: Try ubuntu. If you VM (Virtual Machine) is up and running download the dropbox desktop application for ubuntu: http://goo.gl/zcqds. Go to: dropbox.com and make a new account using your own refferal link with a trash email adress like one from 10minutemail.net. Log in using the dropbox desktop application using the account you just created and you should get 500 mb. Stop the VM and repeat this procces 32 times (max.).

If you did all this you should have 21.8 GB space in your dropbox account, for free!

About Nelson

I was a nerd before being a nerd was cool. My parents was always busy with something so they kept me entertained with video games, TV, movies and magazines. I grew up on that and to this day I still love it. In high school I went though a stage were I tried to hide the things I liked to make new friends. It worked but I was disappointment in myself but then senior year I meet a guy named Rimmy. When I first saw him I thought that he was a total geek and a loser. I did not want to be seen with him cause I felt he would ruin my image. In photo class the teacher put us as partners and after talking with him for a while I realized that we had a lot in common. Long story short, Rimmy made me realize that it is ok to show what you like. The things that you love make you who you are and there is no shame in that. Thanks to Rimmy for giving me the idea for "My Nerd Blog". He moved to California and I lost contact with him but I hope he is doing well. My Nerd Blog is not about glorifying the nerd life style it is about showing what we love cause this is who we are, not who we want to be.
