How do you get your data allowance on Dropbox, I launched the app on the phone and entered my details, but still only have 5GB

I received an email with a link which told me how to get the space.

Login to your dropbox in a browser and click the getting started link. This will list the steps you can do to get your 50GB. You don't have to do all of them luckly.

Thanks Lingwo but that link shows the ndroid link with a line through it, meaning already done, but the space is not given I have sent an email to dropbox, also it seems that it is only on HTC's with ICS installed, reading the help files?

I have a Galaxy S3 and unlocked the 50GB for my current account. I had to login first through the dropbox app on android and then got an email telling me how to unlock the 50GB. Which linked to the get started page. Here is what the page should look like.

Yes, I have the bottom one the same as yours, with the line through it, but no extra space given on my account I have emailed drop box regarding it and they say I have no mobile devices attached to my account, even though I have the phone in front of me sending and deleting files from the dropbox account just to check it

Perhaps try deleting the app and re-installing it? I don't know if you can do that on the S3 as it is pre-installed.
You could also try signing out of the app on your phone and then signing back in. Perhaps it is a bug their end that didn't pick it up the install first time round.

can't uninstall it, appears to be no option to Just clear cache etc which didn't work Maybe it's because I have 5GB and the default is 2GB (I got the other 3GB through referrals)

I don't think so. I logged in with an existing account and it will add to your current capacity to make 50GB. So when you get this problem sorted you'd get 45GB of space.

I'm out of ideas. I think either contact Samsung support or Dropbox support and somehow try and prove you own the phone and then perhaps they could activate it manually.

If anyone is confused about how Smart Stay works like I was, this might help.

I thought Smart Stay was supposed to place an eye icon in the notification bar whenever you're looking at the screen but I was mistaken.

It works in partnership with the screen timeout setting and whenever the screen is about to time out, it checks if you're watching the screen. If you are, it won't turn off. So if your screen timeout is set to 15 seconds, an eye will pop up in the top bar every 15 seconds to check if you're watching, and the screen should stay on. Works with or without my glasses on

Works almost 100% perfectly for me now. Every so often the screen will turn off but it's no biggie.

I was kind of confused too. I was looking at it waiting for the eye to appear and then i'd turn away and look back and the eye was there. I started to think that it was thinking the side of my head are my eyes

Thanks for explaining it.

No probs Yeah I thought the same! And I was pulling all kinds of stupid faces to try to get the eye to appear haha.

This way obviously uses less battery than always watching your eyes too!
