To redeem the 48GB of free storage space on Dropbox, you will need to sign in with your Dropbox account credentials in the pre-installed app on the S5. Keep in mind that the free storage space and services are only valid for one account for a one-time usage. This means that if you have already used another Galaxy S5 to get 3 months of premium Evernote membership or 48GB of storage space on Dropbox, you will not be able to redeem them again.
