Dropbox - we get 9GB in one hour

Just a couple of days ago, I ran into the same problem as the comrade who sent the last article , namely, how can I get (yes more) free space on Dropbox 'e for free?
To me personally, my decision seems more elegant and practical, and all you have to do is make your own choice.

Theory

The question is, on which principle Dropbox determines the uniqueness of the referral?

Did someone say IP? * Bip * WRONG!

Then this article would be tagged Tor . A unique email account - definitely, but what else? The answer is simple, this is the Mac address of the device . Stop-stop-stop, yes, the geeks have already understood everything for a long time and they just have to suffer enough to break into an active attack, but still try to read this article to the end, you can learn something else useful.

Search for the necessary

Of course, you can change your Mac address every time, get a 32 Email account and register everything one by one, but this will require too much time and effort from us, not to mention the fact that it requires just inhuman perseverance.
No, we will simplify the whole process, but for this we need a bit of third-party software.

Virtual machine

I chose VirtualBox 'e, which has recently been owned by Oracle, but the program has not lost its main advantages - it is free and multiplatform. It also has the ability to create up to 4 virtual network adapters, which greatly simplifies the whole procedure.

Choosing an OS

At the moment, VirtualBox supports almost all OSes, but I recommend to pay special attention to the Linux distribution of Ubuntu, which has been loved by so many people. Yes, it is absolutely free, and, probably, for our purposes, you can use the Live cd function.

Registering 32 unique Emails

Registering them yourself is a hard job, but there are several services that provide a temporary email address for 10-15 minutes. After a bit of Google searching for the “10 minute Email” request, I found about a dozen of such services and chose Mailinator for myself, which, due to habraeffect, will most likely be banned on Dropbox.

Go to practice

Now I will sort everything out, within reason of course.
1. You need to install VirtualBox, create a new virtual machine and attach an Ubuntu image to it.
2. Connect all possible virtual network adapters.
Virtual machine properties > Network > (further on all four tabs) Enable network adapter > NAT connection type.
If you select Advanced , then you can view or replace the MAC address there.

3. Run Ubuntu on the virtual machine, disable all network adapters (except the first)

4. Open Firefox and create 4 tabs with the address of your referral and 4 unique mailboxes on Mailinator .
5. Download and install Dropbox client .

And here the fun begins

6. It is necessary to remember three simple algorithms.
The first is:
We go to the referral, register a new account, specify the mail on Mailnator, drive in some memorable password, any data. And so four times. I want to note that the most logical password is to drive the same one, the main thing is to remember all the addresses of mailboxes.
By the way, the registration letter is not required to confirm.

Algorithm two:
Open a Dropbox client , I already have a Dropbox account ( I already have a Dropbox account ), Next , enter the Email / password, change the computer name (for every fireman), Next and ... everything, close the program.
The referral should already be counted, and the synchronization with Dropbox has not yet occurred, therefore, by launching the client the next time, you will again see the same window from which we started.
After that, disable the current network device and enable the following.

The third and easiest algorithm:
You need to kill all Mac-addresses and repeat the whole operation in a circle. The easiest way, in my opinion, is to do so — turn off the virtual machine, go into Properties , Network, and on the Advanced submenu, click on the update Mac address ' a. So on all four devices.

Afterword

4 referrals are 1gb Dropbox spaces at a time, and each procedure takes about 5 minutes, i.e. You need to repeat all 8 times. At first glance, this may seem difficult and probably long, but if you adjust a little, you will spend no more than an hour on everything, as was promised.

Ps.
Another manual has already indicated how to get another 768mb, so I don’t find it logical to copy it here.
