Invitation to Dropbox too old
Long time ago (2011) I invited my brother to Dropbox, but now that he tries to activate the link, the link does not work - what to do? Thank you in advance!

Hey hekeha, just to clarify, sharing a folder doesn't really count as a referral.
If your brother created an account without using the referral invitation, there's really not much we can do.
If you follow the steps to send a referral on dropbox.com and choose the "copy link" option instead, can your brother sign up through there?

Dropbox Community ModeratorHey hekeha, thanks for posting to our Community.
Can you please let me know what you were trying to do with this inivitation?
Was this a referral, so you can gain extra space? Or perhaps an invitation to a shared folder?
Let me know and we'll go from there.
This was a referral but also intended to share a folder.
Thanks, Hannah!

Have you recently tried to send him a referral through your Referrals page? If you only sent him an invitation to join a shared folder, that doesn't count towards a referral.
Yes, I tried to resend the invitation yesterday.
But I am being told automatically, that he has already been invited.
Can this invitation be deleted or made active?- Hannah
