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.

- 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.
We are 5 people in the household, while some have their own computers, not everyone does. This was done on the family pc.
We are multiple people using it.
What alternatives are in place to ensure that all family members can use dropbox on the same computer, AND that the referral bonus can be used from the referrals on it?

There arent. As that isnt the point of the promotion I'm afraid. The requirements are that it is installed on a unique computer (not even a mobile or tablet works).
