People used my referral link, but I haven't gotten the extra space, why?

Some of my friends used my link but neither one of us got the extra storage. Im not really sure how to do it the correct way.
I hope some people could help me get more storage or show me the correct way to do.

I hope i can put the link in here

Thank you ~ George

    Check your Referrals page to see the status of their referrals.

     

    Remember, each person you refer must install Dropbox on a unique computer (one that never had Dropbox installed previously) and they must verify their email address. Mobile devices do not count, and if you're all on the same network (like members of the same household), the referrals could be marked as ineligible.

    No, there isn't. One of the requirements is that the person you refer must install Dropbox on a unique computer.
