Storage Space

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 bought a laptop in the past directly from HP that came with the 100 GB promo. Some HP laptops have Dropbox app already installed (and I enjoyed 100 GB for a year; I never had any issues with the promo). All you have to do is to run the app using the shortcut on your desktop and login to your existing account or create a new account. You will get 100 GB almost instantaneously on your first login.
Here are some exceptions that I think might prevent you from redeeming this promo:
1) Laptop is not new and previous owner has already applied 100 gb to their account. Promo will work only once --> after the redemption, promo will not work for the another account --> even if you factory reset the laptop
2) Promo will not work on refurbished laptops.
3) Some 100 GB promos might be limited to one time redemption. For example, if you previously took advantage of this promo, you may not be eligible for the second time (even if you buy brand new laptop).
Here is mor information from Dropbox:
Hi @rcs04, hope you’re doing well.
Is it alright if I open a ticket for you, in this case?
I’d like to take a closer look into your Dropbox account, and see what may be happening.
Let me know!

I bought a new HP Desktop Envy which came with a 100gb free space offer from Dropbox. Answers to questions you have asked to others in similar situation are below:
Was the desktop app pre-installed on the device or did you download it? YES
Also, could it be that you've redeemed the same type of HP promotion already in the past? You can double-check that from your Plan tab, under Earn more space. NOTHING IS LISTED UNDER MY PLAN ABOUT SAME TYPE OF HP PROMOTION REDEEMED.
Please can you help redeem this offer?
Thanks.
