Chromebook benefits now include 100GB of storage from … Dropbox?


Chromebook owners make a profit. These little extra bonuses range from free games like Doom & Doom II to productivity tools like the popular Squid note-taking app. The oldest “freebie” for Chrome OS users is 100GB of Google One storage (formerly Drive storage) and the benefits that come with a subscription. Occasionally, Google will grant some game credit or a free Nest Mini for Google One subscribers, depending on the level to which they are subscribed.

Additional storage is a huge plus for those who live within the Chrome OS ecosystem. Having 100 GB of cloud storage allows you to easily move from one device to another without worrying about transferring files all the time. On top of that, users don’t have to worry about filling up their local storage, as the average Chromebook still only has 32GB-64GB drives. In a very unusual move, Google has now added a second storage option that you can claim from the Chromebook Perks page.

Dropbox

For more than 14 million paying users, Dropbox is the access platform for file storage and sharing. Many of the companies we deal with use Dropbox to share press releases, product information, and internal and external documents. Apparently, Google understands that Dropbox is an important part of the workflow of countless users. The creators of Chrome OS now offer a year of 100GB Dropbox storage as a benefit to Chromebook owners. This agreement is in addition to the 100 GB already available from Google One.

It seems that the promotion is valid until July 23, 2021 and just to make sure, I went ahead and tried to claim the benefits. Sure enough, I clicked on the link that took me to the Dropbox website. I signed in with my Google account and the promo code was automatically redeemed and 100GB of storage added to my account. Again, this seems like a strange benefit considering that Google offers its own storage solution, but I feel like the company is moving towards making my Chromebooks as accessible as possible to consumers and businesses alike. This will be a welcome bonus for many users, I’m sure. You can find the Dropbox benefit right below the Disney + promotion on the Chromebook benefits page at the following link.
