If I downgrade from a paid plan, do I keep my previous referral space?

I have 16.25 GBs of extra storage space because of promoting DropBox early on. If I upgrade to a paid plan, but then change my mind later, will I be able to keep this extra storage space?

Yes, you will. In fact, some of it will also double while you're on a paid plan. After you cancel your subscription it will return back to the 16.25 GB you have now.

Each referral bonus is worth 500MB while on a free account, and that doubles to 1GB when on a paid account. When you return back to a free account the 1GB is halved back to 500MB each.
