A few days ago we spotted a rather “naughty” APK which fooled the good folks at Dropbox into thinking that you’d just bought yourself a brand new HTC One device. That then gave you 23GB of space, or extra space, in your Dropbox account. Now, we’ve had a nose around the Dropbox site and there’s a mention in the forum about the “backdoor” but, based on the recent comments in our earlier story, this loophole has now closed up.
We’ve not seen a response from Dropbox about this as yet, so we can only assume that they’re aware of it and have closed the door on the issue.

This loophole has now been closed. See

Yep, I’m even a faithful 100GB pro user, and my 23GB just got removed from my account!
