Thank you for this info, but this is disappointing. I didn't receive the E-mail regarding the March 17 dead line. It's like contributing without receiving any incentive. I feel bad.

Today we announced via email that the Google Drive promotion is ending, but Local Guides who reach Level 4 by March 17, 2017 at 11pm EST can still unlock 100GB of free storage.
With two weeks to go, there’s still time for you to make high-quality contributions to Google Maps about places you’ve visited recently. Remember, you can earn points in five different ways. If photos and reviews are your preference, be sure to check out these tips for writing great reviews and uploading great photos.
Stay tuned for more features and perks to pop up throughout the year.
Below are answers to some questions we think you may have about this change.
I didn’t receive that email.
To manage your email preferences, visit the Local Guides settings page. It may take up to 7 days for your email preferences to be implemented.
Why did you change this promotion?
As our global community of Local Guides continues to grow, we occasionally make changes to our program. We look forward to offering our most active and consistently-contributing Local Guides more features and perks throughout the year.
I just reached Level 4, how do I redeem my benefit?
You can visit Local Guides Home to access your free Drive storage code. The benefit must be redeemed within 30 days of being issued and is valid for one year.
Note: Please be sure to activate the Drive storage code on the same account that you would like to apply the additional drive storage. We are unable to reverse Drive storage activations or change the account once the code has been activated.
I already reached Level 4 but never redeemed by benefit; do I still get it?
As noted in our Help Center (and in the email you received notifying you about the benefit upon reaching Level 4 if you receive benefit emails), the benefit must be redeemed within 30 days of being issued and is valid for one year. If the code is not available to you when you visit Local Guides Home (either at the top of the page or under the Level 4 benefits) it is past those 30 days and we are unable to troubleshoot or award a new Drive storage code.
I have another question.
Check out this part of our Help Center for more information on Drive storage.
For more information about the Local Guides program, check out the Help Center and if you can’t find an answer, ask it here in Connect under the appropriate forum.

What the heck...this is so upsetting. The change was so silent and I've been working towards it for a while and missed the cutoff... There was no real notification of it. I had to search for this after reaching level 4 and not seeing the drive benefit anymore... super lame. super freaking lame.

Hi.
I tried to get the code for the 100 GB at the Local Guides Home but I can find anything.
What can I do?
Thank you!
