Bonus space of 1 GB (500 MB + 500 MB) not added for Dropbox referral
I have several email so I have referred myself to join Dropbox in order to receive 500 MB per referral for my main Dropbox account.
I did same for two email address and I should receive 1 GB as bonus storage capacity.
I have used the same laptop to download the Dropbox app and I learnt that doing so will not consider the bonus.
It is unfair from Dropbox to do so because not everyone has two or more laptops or computers or even mobile phones.
I sincerely believe that Dropbox should review this policy and find alternative ways to authenticate the user.
Thank you.

You're cheating the referral system. The intent is that you invite other people, not yourself, to join Dropbox. Cheating the system like this would result in the referral being flagged as ineligible, or possibly result in the loss of all space earned through the referral system.
