Referral shows as ineligible. What can I do?
Dear DB team, I referred a friend/colleague, and did not receive a bonus, I will be grateful if you could look into it?
I have also raised this as an 'issue' I hope this is ok.
Thank you

yes, probably, because I showed him, how to sign up on his computer, he may be using my WIFI, but I thought he had his own data. So not sure.

Hey Sameera007!
A computer network is any system that connects two or more computers or devices to share data, resources, and services.
For instance, if you and your colleague all connect to the same network, using the same IP address, it'd essentially mark the referral as such.

thank you, what is a 'same network'?

Hi Sameera007, let's investigate further!
If a referral is showing as ineligible on the Dropbox site, then it should mean that the referral user attempted to activate the referral from the same network as yours. Could this be the case?
You can also check this section of Help Center for more info and this FAQ right here. Can you also confirm that they've tried these steps?
This will help me to assist further!
