Before you freak out and say, “But my photos and video are HUGE!! I wont have any space left if I automatically upload them.” Dropbox is here to help. Just like during the beta testing phase, they are offering additional storage while your media is uploading. They will add 500mbs of space for the first pictures uploaded and they will add an additional 500mbs to your account as you fill it up. You have the ability to gain an additional 3GB’s. This will be extra space on top of any additional space you may might have already earned from in February.
To get started you will need to download and install the latest desktop version of Dropbox. Afterwards just plug your phone, camera, memory card or what have you that contains your photos. It should prompt you to upload to Dropbox and you are off to the races.

From Dropbox support – “If you were lucky enough to be included in our Camera Upload early beta testing period (from February 2nd, 2012 to February 23rd, 2012), either on the desktop or on Android, you are still capable of earning up to 5 GB instead of the standard 3 GB. Thank you so much for your help!”
It looks like those of us that did take part in the Beta in February still get just the 5GBs. If you didn’t play the beta game out of fear or just forgot, then you can get the actual released update and get 3GB. Seems to be a bit of confusion across the boards.
