Missing space from a referral
I've invited a new member to Dropbox and created an account, but did not receive the Dropbox referral 500MB?

What does http://www.dropbox.com/referral_status show?
Note that they need to have download and installed it to a desktop device. Mobiles do not count.

Yes, it has been downloaded and installed on a desktop device.
