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! /Henrik

    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?
