<br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana;">Dropbox is the easiest way to store, sync, and, share files online. There’s no complicated interface to learn. Dropbox works seamlessly with your operating system and automatically makes sure your files are up-to-date. Available for Windows, Mac, and Linux.<br />

<span style="font-family: Verdana;">Sign up for Dropbox from <a href="http://db.tt/bNRPUqlc" target="_blank">THIS LINK</a> and install the software on your computer when prompted. That will start you off with 2.25GB for free as opposed to the 2GB you would get from signing up normally, just for signing up from that link.</span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana;">During the installation (after signing up from the link above) choose “I already have a Dropbox account” and enter the same information you entered during signup. Then, under “Select your Dropbox size” choose 2GB (free) and you will be credited the additional 0,25GB automatically immediately after installation!</span>

<tr> <td><small><span style="font-weight: bold;">Windows Vista / Windows 7 users - Important</span><br />
We've noticed some problems when installing Dropbox on limited user accounts in Windows Vista/Windows 7. If you run a limited user account, exit Dropbox after the installation (by right clicking on its icon in the system tray) then run the program again. You may need to manually create the program short-cuts too. If you don't see a Dropbox icon in your system tray, restart your computer.</small><br />
<small>Hint - if you </small><small><b>don't</b> need to enter a password each time you get a Windows User Account Control prompt, then you are <b>not</b> running a limited user account.</small></td> </tr>

<span style="font-family: Verdana;">To install the desktop version of Dropbox, first download the latest version of the software </span><a href="http://db.tt/bNRPUqlc" style="font-family: Verdana;" target="_blank">here</a><span style="font-family: Verdana;">. Save the file to your desktop or somewhere that you can access it easily. When the download is complete, double click on the file or choose "Open" from your browsers download manager. </span>
<div style="font-family: Verdana;">Windows Vista and Windows 7 users may need to enter their administrator passwords and/or click on continue if prompted to do so by Windows User Account Control. </div><div style="font-family: Verdana;">The following window will then appear:</div><div style="font-family: Verdana;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg8dqnGpBbmg0nZfYUq2ZWjtbpoWs6utglSRRlnM4QrEFXGYr02d5NDkmyunVn53eoO1S_MzHgH8rJ82h8-qFJK104kZ2yg2DX8Y268IOdQ9BWgXZkOxd-3Qj1u4Fui5JItU3mie5TlGgA/s1600/welcome.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="245" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg8dqnGpBbmg0nZfYUq2ZWjtbpoWs6utglSRRlnM4QrEFXGYr02d5NDkmyunVn53eoO1S_MzHgH8rJ82h8-qFJK104kZ2yg2DX8Y268IOdQ9BWgXZkOxd-3Qj1u4Fui5JItU3mie5TlGgA/s320/welcome.png" width="320" /></a></div><span style="font-family: Verdana;">Click on "Install" and wait a moment while files are copied to your PC.

Check/Uncheck those options as you wish and click "Finish"

<span style="font-family: Verdana;">Go to <a href="https://www.dropbox.com/gs" target="_blank">Getting Started</a></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana;">Dropbox offers an extra +0,25 GB for completing 5 out of 6 Steps:</span>
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgzKAEs18iBVJS8BAp5D0jTTYDT5bduTMeYFZZPuJkndd1y1MzdRpi61NOsbjaZUY5TbmJKAF09YGjbje6aKmvGQGeztYaQU7taGpAakAbOP4bParhgcAJ-hnxAcGDhbsLk5P72AX1ju88/s1600/gs1-2.png" imageanchor="1" style="font-family: Verdana; margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="173" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgzKAEs18iBVJS8BAp5D0jTTYDT5bduTMeYFZZPuJkndd1y1MzdRpi61NOsbjaZUY5TbmJKAF09YGjbje6aKmvGQGeztYaQU7taGpAakAbOP4bParhgcAJ-hnxAcGDhbsLk5P72AX1ju88/s400/gs1-2.png" width="400" /></a>
<span style="font-family: Verdana;">- To complete <span style="font-weight: bold;">N°1</span>, click "Take the Dropbox tour" and keep clicking "Next" until you get to this screen: </span>
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhPUsG0GM0Pfnsh47-0esgfjcvLfxuyVFiOMNnYgWWkGSVbX5i8mXD8yK7TZXUn6kOET4DGqBdxss53XYb9VVfiH_LczCNDpa3UGc98sn4ozu33BQcQoMPA3TVuqW-4h4G-ND_l8guTq4A/s1600/onlinetour2.png" imageanchor="1" style="font-family: Verdana; margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="246" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhPUsG0GM0Pfnsh47-0esgfjcvLfxuyVFiOMNnYgWWkGSVbX5i8mXD8yK7TZXUn6kOET4DGqBdxss53XYb9VVfiH_LczCNDpa3UGc98sn4ozu33BQcQoMPA3TVuqW-4h4G-ND_l8guTq4A/s400/onlinetour2.png" width="400" /></a>
<span style="font-family: Verdana;">At this point, just go back to <a href="https://www.dropbox.com/gs" target="_blank">Getting Started</a> and N°1 should be checked.</span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana;">- If following this tutorial, <span style="font-weight: bold;">N°2</span> should already be completed.</span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana;">- To complete <span style="font-weight: bold;">N°3</span>, click "Put files in your Dropbox folder"</span>

<span style="font-family: Verdana;">Go back to <a href="https://www.dropbox.com/gs" target="_blank">Getting Started</a> and N°3 should be completed.</span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana;">- To complete <span style="font-weight: bold;">N°4</span> just grab another computer and <a href="https://www.dropbox.com/downloading" target="_blank">Download Dropbox</a> following the same steps that you already followed under "How to Install Dropbox"</span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana;">- To complete <span style="font-weight: bold;">N°5</span>, follow this official guide:</span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana;"> </span><a href="https://www.dropbox.com/help/19" style="font-family: Verdana;" target="_blank">How do I share folders with other people?</a>
<span style="font-family: Verdana;">NOTE: If you followed each step so far, you will be awarded with +0,25 GB. If for any reason you couldn't complete one of these 5 steps above (e.g.: no other computer available to complete step N°4) you can go ahead and complete <span style="font-weight: bold;">N°6</span>, which is also needed to earn another 8 GB as it is shown in the "Get referrals" section.</span>

<span style="font-family: Verdana;">Head over to <a href="https://www.dropbox.com/free" target="_blank"><span style="text-decoration: underline;">https://www.dropbox.com/free</span></a> and follow the instructions for connecting your Dropbox account to Facebook and Twitter. You will have to complete <span style="font-weight: bold;">6</span> easy steps and you’ll get 128MB for each one, making it a total of <span style="font-weight: bold;">0,75 GB</span> (128 * 6 = 768 MB)</span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana;"></span>
<img src="http://cache.gawkerassets.com/assets/images/17/2010/11/500x_dropbox_free.jpg" style="font-family: Verdana;" />
<small style="color: #666666; font-family: Verdana;"><span style="font-weight: bold;">
</span></small><span style="font-family: Verdana;">If you have any privacy concern in regards to giving Dropbox access to your Facebook and/or Twitter account, take into consideration that right after you get the free space you can revoke access and erase any posts/tweets and still keep your extra space.
If you still don't like this, just create non-real-name/dummy Facebook and Twitter accounts to apply for the space which shouldn't take you more than 5 minutes.</span>
<small style="color: #666666; font-family: Verdana;"><span style="font-weight: bold;">
Note</span>: It seems that the option "Like Dropbox? Tell your friends on Facebook" is gone now.
According to someone in the Dropbox forums, it was removed since it was against Facebook's ToS (Terms of Service). So right now only 5 steps (640 MB) can be completed.</small>

<span style="font-family: Verdana;">Go to the <a href="https://www.dropbox.com/referrals" target="_blank">Referrals Section</a> and choose one of the 2 methods available to start inviting your friends to Dropbox:</span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana;">1. Share this link on Facebook or Twitter</span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana;">or</span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana;">2. Invite by email</span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana;">In this way, you can let others know about Dropbox, and you will get <span style="font-weight: bold;">+0,25 GB</span> for each person you successfully get to start using Dropbox.</span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana;">You can get up to <span style="font-weight: bold;">32</span> referrals in this way, which makes it:</span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana;">+0,25 GB * 32 = <span style="font-weight: bold;">+8 GB</span></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana;"><span style="font-weight: bold;">

<big style="font-family: Verdana;"><big><span style="font-weight: bold;"><a href="http://www.blogger.com/post-edit.g?blogID=9141220150110881810&postID=5198487699008169961" name="Duplicate_referral_space_with_.EDU_email"></a>Duplicate referral space with .EDU email <span style="color: #009900;">(+8 GB)</span></span></big></big>
<span style="font-family: Verdana;">Now, assuming you have access to a .edu email address, you can go to <a href="https://www.dropbox.com/edu" target="_blank">https://www.dropbox.com/edu</a> to verify that address so that you will receive double space <span style="font-weight: bold;">(+0,5 GB)</span> per referral (applies retroactively to past referrals as well). It does not matter whether you signed up for Dropbox with a .edu email address or not, you simply have to verify that you have one to get double referral credit.</span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana;">You can receive up to <span style="font-weight: bold;">16 GB</span> additional space through referrals with this method! If you do not have a .edu email address your maximum referral credit is <span style="font-weight: bold;">8 GB</span>.</span>

<span style="font-family: Verdana;">Fill with your university's email address and click "Send Email"</span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana;">You will receive an email to that account with a link to verify you own it.</span>
<small style="font-family: Verdana;"><span style="color: #666666;"><span style="font-weight: bold;">Note</span>: If you are in another country and your university's email address ends in a different way other than ".edu", you can contact the Dropbox Support Team by creating a ticket </span><a href="https://www.dropbox.com/ticket" style="color: #666666;" target="_blank">HERE</a><span style="color: #666666;">. I did so and they added my country's extension (.edu.ar for Argentina).</span></small>
