Referrals ineligible
Hello,
I have at least 4 people that have accepted and downloaded DB from my invitations. AFTER they did, DB suddenly marked them as ineligible. I want my space. Please help.
Hi Queen22, let's see what I can do to help!
I just sent you an email, in order for us to have a closer look into this. Respond back to me, and we'll take it from there.
Cheers!

Did they each download and install the Dropbox application on a unique computer? If not, the referral will be marked as ineligible. Note that mobile devices do not count towards referrals.

This may mean that the recipient already has an account with Dropbox, or that the recipient is attempting to register with the same computer as you. also if they download the dropbox on their phone , this is not counting

Only the first person to use that PC would result in an eligible referral. Each person needs to install Dropbox on a unique computer.
