Referral sent to a friend marks as inelegible
Hi
I sent a request to a friend for them to install Dropbox. They followed all the process steps and were awarded 259mb. On my account against their referral email, it is marked as ineligible.

How to fix Ineligible referral status that is false?

Hey khodbxuser, thanks for posting your question on the Dropbox Community.
You're right, the error you're getting may be due to the user you're trying to send the invite to is using the same network or device that you're connected to.
I'd like to help look into this with you, but we'd have to continue via email.
Would it be alright if I reached out to you?- khodbxuser5 years agoNew member | Level 2

Hey Ranim Al-shakifi, thanks for joining the discussion here and happy Monday!
I just wanted to mention that when the recipient is ineligible for the referral program, there are two possible reasons:
One is that the recipient has already registered an account with Dropbox with that email address, or that the recipient is attempting to register using the same computer as you.
If you feel this status is inaccurate double-check the email address of your recipient to try again.- Ranim Al-shakifi5 years agoExplorer | Level 4
i know but the email was new and was using a new computer and new wifi
still got Ineligible
