dont forget to read Invisiblesoul's freebees thread. i posted how to get 8GB easy.
Quote:
you can create your own 5 GB JPG.
on win 7 under admin mode open a CMD window and type in:
fsutil file createnew Cbigpicture.jpg 5000000000
The C : \ being the USB drive so use whatever letter your usb is. this makes a fake 5 GB file. make sure your flash drive is bigger then 5 GB. the name can be anything, not only "bigpicture" EG: mycock.jpg
you may have to navigate to your USB drive first.
also thats 9 zeros. you can prolly substitute the first digit to make smallersized files EG: 3000000000 for a 3 GB file.

If you want to upload pictures but do not have 5GB of pictures to use, follow this:
1) Plug in a USB stick/SD card/other media larger with 5GB
2) Create a folder and rename it "DCIM"
3) Open command prompt with admin privileges (start button, search "CMD," right clink on "Command Prompt" and run as an admin
4) Enter: fsutil file createnew XDCIM\LargePic.JPG 5000000000 where X is the drive from step 1
5) Let Windows create the file, then allow Dropbox to search it for pictures
6) Upload and you're set
BTW the Windows beta version is here: http://dl-web.dropbox.com/u/17/Dropbox%201.3.13.exe

rename a 5GB file's extension to .JPG and drop it on a usb stick.
Make a folder on the usb stick and name it DCIM. Put that renamed file in it. plug into pc
after you get the sync to dropbox click sync. after a few min you get the full 5 GB bonus space and you can cancel the upload.
