How To Get 8 Gigabytes Of Online Storage With Dropbox For FREE - THE FASTEST WAY POSSIBLE

I've had a Dropbox account now for several years. It's been invaluable for sharing files with family and friends and it keeps important files of my synchronized between the several workstations that rule my life. A regular free account with Dropbox will give you 2 gigabytes. However, they also allow for referrals. For each user that you refer the service to, and they sign up, you receive an additional 250 megabytes of storage up to a maximum of 8 gigabytes. Of course, if you really like their service than you could also fork out $10/month for their 50GB service or $20/month for their 100GB service. Also, some people might not think of this as the most 'honest' thing to do. However, I introduced our sales team to the service over a year ago and I got them all 50GB accounts. So, if you like the service than you should seriously consider purchasing it. However, for the rest of us I have compiled a list of steps on how to upgrade your Dropbox to 8GB the fastest way possible. without further adieu:

• go to trashmail.net
• create free account (register)
• set up as many referrals as you need (click the add button over and over)
• the default # forwards (2) should be enough. Click SAVE!!
• double click each email name (first part) and copy it into a text file (notepad, etc)
• type @trashmail.net and copy/paste it to all the ones so you have a line separated list of emails ie:
                 jijaijsdf@trashmail.net
                 kjeafka@trashmail.net
                 ijafjlwe@trashmail.net
                 ...and so on and so forth...
• copy all the addresses we just made in your textfile
• log into your dropbox account
• click the account link at the top right of the page
• go to the "Referral Status" tab
• at bottom click "Invite More People To Join Dropbox"
• paste all the email addresses into the big text box at bottom labelled "or invite email addresses"
• click "Send Invites"
• check your email
• click each referral link in your email... open each one of them in their own tab
• go through each tab and type in a dummy first, last name and choose the SAME PASSWORD for each account (the same password will make it easier to remember)
• refresh your referal status page in your own dropbox account (will require you to re-login)
• all referrals should now have the status "joined"
• download and install Oracles Virtualbox HERE
• download an iso of Ubuntu (32bit) HERE
• in Virtualbox click "New", then "Next", enter a dummy name, select "Linux" as the OS, select "Ubuntu" if not already selected.
• click madly through all the next's and finishes
• TIP: on my workstation I found that I could go through the process the fastest if I created 4 at a time... depending on your processor and memory you may be able to create more or less
• now that you have 4 (or some number) of VM's created click on each one in sequence and select "Start"
• click "Next" and then select your ubuntu .iso. Click "Next" and "Finish"
• drag the one you just did to some other area of your screen so that when you finish you'll have them all spread out and easily accessible (this is because you'll be going back and forth between them several times while things are downloading, installing, etc)
• do the same thing with the next 3
• now you have all 4 (or x) VM's in front of you. Click "Try Ubuntu" for each of them. This is important because we don't want to install the OS... we just want to boot from the ISO and then later discard them.
• once Ubuntu loads you will want to do this for each VM you have in front of you:
• open firefox
• go to dropbox.com
• click "Download Dropbox"
• select the 32bit Ubuntu .deb
• click "Save File" when prompted
• doubleclick the .deb file directly from the Firefox Downloads window
• click "Install" in the Package Installer when it pops up
• wait for Dropbox's "Update Information" window to pop up, click "Start Dropbox"
• Click "OK" on the next window that pops up telling you you have to download their daemon. At this point it will take about a minute for the daemon to download. This is a good opportunity to move to the next VM in sequence.
• Eventually Dropbox will start up and ask you if you already have an account. Select "I already have a Dropbox account"
• Enter one of the @trashmail.net accounts with the password you used with all the accounts
• Click "Forward", then click "Skip Tour", then click "Finish".
• At this point you should be 250MB richer
• Click the X button at the top right of the VirtualBox VM window to close the VM. Select "Power Off" and click "OK" 
• Once you have ensured that you have the additional space from a referral you can right-click the VM listed in the main Virtual Box list box and select "Delete"

There you have it. Without a doubt the absolute fastest way to beef up your Dropbox account to 8 gigabytes! Enjoy!
