Is it possible?

Requires verification of a .edu email.

also, we have 590 votes to MIT's 12,000... Every so many votes gets everyone w/ a school email address more free space. we are "only" 6000 votes from 8gb

Is it at all possible to link my already existing dropbox account to the new one I'd be making? Other than sharing a folder?

There is a way you can "refer" users to dropbox and get a point for the competition.


everyone who signs up gets a "link"

Click the little link that says "or sign in"

I just tried it and my alumni.iu.edu address is ineligible

That was a nice 3 GB bump. It put me over 20 GB. I really do love their referral program.

BTW, you don't have to make a new account to participate. You just to sign into your existing account and verify your .edu mail address.

I'll spawn a VM and install it Hopefully they're not looking at my external IP at work to make that determination - if so, that sucks.

I have like 55 GB, so 3 GB really doesn't help me out.
