    Has anyone gotten their 20 gb of free Dropbox space added to their account yet? I clicked on the icon in the WIndows 8 start menu, and then it asked me to sign in so I did....that was last week.

    Same situation for me. I clicked the special Dropbox icon, signed in, but never actually received the bump to my account.

    I got mine instantly. I just opened the Dropbox app and signed in, and the space was added straight away. Not sure why it isn't working for you guys, have you contacted Dropbox?

    My XPS 13 is from Dell and there was an application installed called 'Dropbox 20' - when I ran this it downloaded Dropbox and added 20GB to my account, it popped up a little notification in the taskbar to tell me I had the additional space.

    I did a factory reset of my laptop and went through the Dropbox 20GB application again. It worked that time.
