(Credit: Screenshot by Nicole Cozma/CNET))Google is adding 10GB of free storage to your Google Drive account when you log into your Google account with the new Google Quickoffice before September 26, 2013. The official statement can be found here.
Here's our you can get your free 10GB storage:

  1. Get the Google Quickoffice app from the app store.
  2. Run the app after installing it.
  3. Log into your Google Account and you'll get the 10GB extra storage.
  4. You can log into your other Google accounts by tapping on the profile picture and then "Change Account" and log into the other accounts one by one.
Now for some caveats. Google says the "extra 10GB of Google Drive storage will be added to your account for two years (look for it in the next few weeks)." The question here is, will Google offer the extra storage for company accounts hosted by Google? It's going to be hard to say given the additional storage will only be added over the next few weeks. But Google does differentiate between Google accounts and corporate Google accounts. Personal @gmail.com accounts are called 'Google Accounts' while your company's Google hosted accounts are called 'Google Apps Accounts'.
Nevertheless, it doesn't hurt to try. Do it soon if you don't want to miss out on 10GB of extra storage in your Google Drive account.
