Hey J Senthil Kannan, thanks for reaching out to the Dropbox Community today.

This has probably happened because they were connected to the same network as you; can they connect to a different network, so you can try again?

Let me know how it goes.

    Hi Hannah,  I tried connecting through different network but still the same issue exists, the referral space is not allocated yet.

      Thanks for trying, J Senthil Kannan.

      Can we send you an email, in that case, so we can take a look into what might be going on?
