14 DAY TRIAL // In an attempt to sell even more smartphones, HTC has teamed up with Google to offer those who already own or decided to acquire one of its handsets, an amazing deal.
Beginning today, Android users who own the new HTC One M8 can activate this offer and receive double the free cloud storage they got when purchasing the flagship smartphone. This means that they will get no less than 100GB of cloud storage via Google Drive when activating the promotional deal.
For those unaware, HTC offers 50GB of free cloud storage via Google Drive to all customers who purchase an HTC smartphone. Thanks to the recently announced promotions, HTC users will automatically receive another 50GB of cloud storage for free.
Keep in mind, though, that this is a limited time offer, which means that after 2 years you will have to pay for the cloud storage if you want to keep your quota.
Here is a short list of HTC smartphones that qualify for this offer: HTC One M8 (100GB for two years), HTC Desire 816 and HTC Desire 610 (100GB for two years), HTC One max (100GB for two years).
In addition, HTC and Google have confirmed that the upgrade to HTC Sense 5+ and Sense 6 becomes available in certain 2013 HTC models, including HTC One, HTC Butterfly S, HTC One Mini and HTC Desire 601 (25GB for two years).
In order to redeem this offer, you will simply need to launch the preloaded Google Drive application directly from within your smartphones and then press Redeem when presented with the option. Follow the screen prompts and you should be able to complete the redemption quickly.
It’s also worth mentioning that this offer must be redeemed before January 1, 2016. You will receive the amount of free cloud storage for 2 years, starting from the date the offer has been activated.
Even after the 2 years have passed, you will still be able to access all your files stored in Google Drive, but you won’t be able to add more files to cloud storage.
Google has also confirmed that users will only be able to redeem one offer one time per device. So, this means that you can get one 100GB offer and one 25GB offer on two eligible devices using the same Google Account.
However, you can’t redeem the offer of the same type on more than one account within a 12-month period. So there you have it, are you happy with HTC’s new cloud storage freebie? Does it make you want to own an HTC smartphone if you don’t have one already?
