More space free
Do you have any tricks, so that i can get more dropbox space for free? /Jonas
Abue you can earn free space by being an active contributor of the community forum: https://www.dropboxforum.com/t5/Community-Announcements/How-to-get-more-space-on-a-Dropbox-Basic-free-account/td-p/238053
If you then become a Super User, you can get a LOT more space: https://www.dropboxforum.com/t5/Community-Announcements/Our-New-Super-User-program-is-live/m-p/239241#M53

Super User IIPlease do not do B - Dropbox have, and do, on a regular basis remove space acquired like that. They also do not just remove the space acquired via the fraud but all of your acquired space.
Don't call it fraud, because it's not. You can have the e-mail accounts on your name and do refer a friend, that is not a problem, and no they do not remove the space acquired. I've had tens of friends do this before and their accounts have been fine for years. It's only time consuming for the user doing it and the fact that there's no real paid option other than a subscription is part of the problem in itself.
- MarkIt is fraud. Simple as. It is against the terms and conditions to refer yourself. It is also a requirement that its installed on a UNIQUE computer. Worryingly, you have just admitted to doing on their own forum. Will be interesting to see if your account is now investigated....
There are plenty of threads on here about people who have had their space removed.Mark I appreciate your hostility, but I never said I have done it, I've known of friends that have done it and asked me to do it too. I do not have the time to be making e-mail accounts or have I needed the extra space to do so in the past 5 years.
Have a good day.

Mark is 100% correct regarding this. Dropbox has and continues to remove space from accounts where referrals are suspicious in nature. The referral system is intended for one person to refer another. Using it to gain extra space by referring yourself goes against its intended use. At a minimum you can have your space reduced. At worst, and it has happened, you can lose your entire account.
Do not attempt to game the referral system or you risk losing your account.
