Hey there oalmeida - thanks for using Dropbox and welcome to our Community!
 

Could you confirm that your referral also confirmed their email address with us and that they've installed the desktop app on a computer that didn't have the app installed previously?

 

Thanks!

Yes, I confirm all of the above. 

Dropbox was installed in a new computer, it's a new account, and it is already 'working', with several dozen files in it, in five different folders. The only issue is that I never received any credit for this referral.
