Dropbox is currently running a promotion that extends the available storage space for users who use the service’s photo import feature.
Storage space is increased in 500 Megabyte chunks by a maximum of 5.0 Gigabytes. For this to work, it is necessary to run the new Dropbox 1.3.12 client. This client is experimental and only linked at the Dropbox forum and not on the main site. Get it here:
http://dl-web.dropbox.com/u/17/Dropbox%201.3.13.exe
For people that don't have enough pictures use this link to get a file that has all you'll need in one swoop.
https://s3.amazonaws.com/picturesharing/...es.tar.bz2
It's a 17k zip file containing JPG files that worth 4.5G and it's recognized by Dropbox client.
All you have to do it's just
1.download that file
2.extract it to a SD card ( Extract it twice. First time to a tar file, then from the tar files to pictures. Download 7zip if you don't have any zip software)
3.start the auto play export to Dropbox (take out and re-plug the SD card, run from windows right click menu w/e you need to get it export)
3.5 If you do this with a USB drive and try to import and Dropbox says "No new photos found", create a folder in the root of your USB drive named DCIM and place the images there.
4.Let it run till all file are sync to your local Dropbox folder.
5.At this point you should have all your 4.5g space enabled, verify that, and delete all the files in local Dropbox folder.
Done.... in 10min
6. Add 500 MB of extra pics beyond this to enable the last 500 MB for a total of 5.0 GB
