100 GB PROMOTION HP+DROPBOX

Hello! A few days ago I bought an HP laptop on which the Dropbox application was pre-installed. If you signed up or logged in, they gave you about 100GB for one year free. A few days have passed, and the HP + Dropbox 100GB promotion has not been effective. I also 

also complete www.dropbox.com/gs

I request help, it should have 100GB. Thanks.

    i recently bought a brand new HP laptop and upon setting my dropbox account on it, I setup my email wrong. However all other details were correct. Therefore from my dropbox dashboard, I verified my email and then changed the email to the present one. Instead of gettting 100GB storage, I have only received 2GB. PLEASE HELP SOMEONE!

    Hello.
    In my case, I bought a brand-new HP laptop from a reputable store, but I haven't taken advantage of the promotion of 100GB extra. How can I get benefit from it? can I get an assistant to fix it?

    I really appreciate any help you can provide.

    You need to have had Dropbox preinstalled on the device. If it was simply open the app and follow the instructions ๐Ÿ™‚

     

    If it was not preinstalled, or, you have deleted it or installed a newer version yourself you need to wipe the device back to factory defaults to use the preinstalled version.

    Any advice? very frustrated.

     

    I got a HP desktop and saw the 100GB dropbox promo app in the taskbar, I signed in to my existing account using the default installer (Didn't go to the website, used the promo app). I've fulfilled the getting started and tried restarting. Still the promo space did not get added. Very disappointed, any tips on how to get it added properly?

    Hello, 

    There may be a variety of reasons you're not eligible to redeem the promotional space:

    • You're only eligible to redeem the same type of promotional deal once. For example, you can't redeem the HP promotion more than once, even if you buy multiple eligible HP devices.
    • The Dropbox app was not pre-loaded on your device.
    • You bought your device pre-owned or refurbished, and the previous owner redeemed the promotion associated with the device. Each device can only earn promotional space once.
    • Your device may not be eligible for the promotion due to some country and retailer exclusions.
    • Some HP promotions may only apply to new Dropbox users.
