Sharing a family or company Wi-Fi network with friends and colleagues is not permitted

Unfortunately, today I plan to expand my Dropbox storage a bit. Inviting some friends to join but getting nothing. The system keeps reporting not legal which is probably the reason why lag is due to sharing wifi , which is so boring. I guess we need to find a different way. Hopefully, we'll have more space to store documents soon.

    Hi zzpttzz, thanks for bringing this to our attention.

    Just for clarification, are you inviting other users to Dropbox via the referral system, and the referrals are being marked as ineligible?

    Is it possible for new users you invite to use a different WiFi network in the future to prevent this behavior from occurring again?

    This will help me to assist further!
