If not, how would I do this, and what's the easiest way to earn free storage through this forum?
Hi @richarduttley, thanks for joining the Community!
When you sign into the forum, it would use your current Dropbox account to login, so if you were logged into your Dropbox Basic account, then it would use that one.
In order to earn free quota, you need to earn the Mighty Answer badge, of which more details are found in that link.
You can still earn free quota by referring other users to Dropbox, and completing the Get Started steps.
Hope this helps!
That's great. Thank you.
