    Yes there is - there is a limit of 32 referrals. Note as well that you dont get space for inviting, you get space for the invitee accepting and joining Dropbox using a unique computer

Hi Jay,
I am having the same issue. I invited a friend of mine [email removed as per Community Guidelines]
He followed the link and installed the dropbox on his computer. At my https://www.dropbox.com/account/plan page, it only shows COMPLETED in the status against kevin's id. And no space was added.
 
It has happened before a couple of times but with other referrals as well. Can you help please? Thanks

In that case, it may be that you've reached your account's maximum referral space.

 

This is 16 GB for accounts on the Basic plan while it gets doubled when on the Plus, Family or the Professional plan (32GB).

 

How much space have you earned through referrals so far umairrana75?
