Why did I lose some of my referral Space? My folder last week was 7.75GB (2GB regular + 5.75 referr
My folder last week was 7.75GB (2GB regular + 5.75 referral from years ago). Today my account stands at 4.75GB.
Why?
Thank you in advance- not happy.

You cannot refer yourself mfagerbu , so that email and referral wont have worked.

Again- I didn't ever refer myself. I have had my account since @2007-2008. I referred several people then, and have had 7.75GB for more than a decade.

And- if Dropbox is expecting me to remember the email addresses of those people I referred so long ago- that clearly not possible.

Thanks- then where is the other 3GB I had- which you can see I had- and lost at 7:56AM this morning?

Does the referral page not show you losing any?
Did you have a temp bonus on for something like a device? QuickBooks?

As I showed you earlier- the Status page shows my quota was reduced. The referrals page shows nothing removed. I did not have some 'temp' boost. I have had this amount for at least 10 years- as you can see by the dates. Today I removed several fairly small files- that's it. I was already under 4.75GB. And then it removed 3GB of storage size.

Hi mfagerbu, most likely, a temporary promotional offer of 3 GB was removed from your account, since you received that message on your account.
