Popular Post ZeroHour Posted January 16, 2011 Popular Post Posted January 16, 2011 (edited) Dropbox are running DropQuest currently which gives you a series of challenges which earn you free space. If you complete them all you earn an extra 1gb of storage space for life! The Dropbox Content team proudly presents... The Inaugural Dropbox Dropquest! If you've been on the forums the past few weeks, you've heard all about rabbit holes, ponies and other assorted potential New Year's treats. That said, I'd like to now invite you to a magic quest through Dropbox and the interwebs in a test that will reward your craftiness, skill and effort. There are awesome prizes, too! Expect to earn some extra space for Dropbox along the way. There are also some additional epic prizes depending on how fast you finish! Platinum (1): Dropbox hoodie, LIMITED EDITION Dropbox Hack Week t-shirt, signed Dropbox drawing by Jon, 50 GB for life! Gold (10): (10) Dropbox hoodie, 10 GB for life! Silver (20): Dropbox t-shirt, 5 GB for life! Bronze (50): 2 GB for life! ...and more! Sound good? Feel free to work together with a friend or two, but remember that only the fastest will be rewarded! Good luck! Get started at: https://www.dropbox.com/dropquest2011 Hints/Answers: http://forums.dropbox.com/topic.php?id=30588 On a side point dropbox client is now version 1 and I noticed my client (0.7) did not autoupdate so if your running an old version check out the changes here and download the newest client. If you dont have Dropbox, the best free online file storage, click here to sign up and both you and me will receive an extra 500mb of space! Edited January 17, 2011 by ZeroHour 7
featured_spectre Posted January 16, 2011 Posted January 16, 2011 quite a difficult quest if I am honest!!
ZeroHour Posted January 16, 2011 Author Posted January 16, 2011 I am on step 10 sudoko but afk for now
Chris_ Posted January 16, 2011 Posted January 16, 2011 I did this last night - took a little while though I also came across this page where you can get an extra 500mb if you're in education: https://www.dropbox.com/edu (worked with my .sch.uk address) Also means you get 500mb for every person you refer. 3
featured_spectre Posted January 16, 2011 Posted January 16, 2011 sweet as! Thanks! Might get the staff using dropbox to save me some bloody hassle! lol
ZeroHour Posted January 16, 2011 Author Posted January 16, 2011 (edited) The new client is pretty sweet too letting you have selective folder sync. I literally use dropbox every day Edited January 16, 2011 by ZeroHour 1
ZeroHour Posted January 16, 2011 Author Posted January 16, 2011 Dropbox have provided some hints/answers at: (1/13) - The Official Dropquest Thread (take 2) « Dropbox Forums

NOTE TO ALL: this works with those *normal* accounts too. Just browse to the page and login using your dropbox details and enter your school address and you will get the boost too dropbox ftw! 1
LosOjos Posted January 17, 2011 Posted January 17, 2011 Don't know if it's a problem my end but the Dropbox website is going slow as hell right now, getting a lot of time outs. I'll give it another go later.
featured_spectre Posted January 17, 2011 Posted January 17, 2011 completed the quest at last...wow thats tough, it gets worse as it goes on! lol
LosOjos Posted January 17, 2011 Posted January 17, 2011 completed the quest at last...wow thats tough, it gets worse as it goes on! lol Sweet jesus really? I'm stuck at step 3! lol. Doesn't help that the site is going slower than a snail on heroin mind you.
featured_spectre Posted January 17, 2011 Posted January 17, 2011 I found steps 13, 14, 16, 17, 19 and 20 a real pain!!
GREED Posted January 17, 2011 Posted January 17, 2011 It would appear the forum has crashed... but I got 10mb free space before it did... then got stuck with part 3! FAIL!
somabc Posted January 17, 2011 Posted January 17, 2011 (edited) This is the complete solution so do not look at it if you want to work it out yourself! Dropbox Dropquest! Answer Key - Forum Vancouver I thought the sliding puzzle was hard, this video may help. Step 28 is taking the P though I don't know how you are supposed to figure that out!

LosOjos Posted January 17, 2011 Posted January 17, 2011 It would appear the forum has crashed... but I got 10mb free space before it did... then got stuck with part 3! FAIL! Turns out I was doing step 3 right, but the forums timing out threw me off an an half hour search for the wrong solution
MkII Posted January 17, 2011 Posted January 17, 2011 I thought the sliding puzzle was hard, this video may help. You're having a giraffe!!! That was one of the few bits I could do! Insane quiz
ifallon Posted January 24, 2011 Posted January 24, 2011 Just stumbled across this on dropbox link your twitter and Facebook to gain more space https://www.dropbox.com/free 512mb it's a little extra. 2
GrumbleDook Posted January 25, 2011 Posted January 25, 2011 Done it too ... and then revoked access immediately!
Zoom7000 Posted January 28, 2011 Posted January 28, 2011 (edited) Just signed up for this. Too late for the Quest though as they've stopped taking new applicants. Thanks for registering for Dropbox! For accepting invitation, we've awarded you 250 MB of bonus space. You now have a total of 2.25 GB on Dropbox! Enjoy your extra 250Mb ZH Edited January 28, 2011 by ZeroHour
