Dropbox StaffHi johnny18420, thanks for bringing this to our attention.
If a referral is ineligible, it means that they either already have an account, or they're trying to activate the referral on the same machine or network as the one you're on.
If you have any further queries, feel free to message back.
Hi Jay,
The person I referred to does not have a Dropbox account. He created one for school and his personal which is brand new. He signed up using the link I provided.

I referred to him brand new and it's not fair why I'm not getting any additional storage nor does he get it either.

Hey johnny18420, sorry to jump in here.
In order for the referral to be valid, this person would need to install the Dropbox desktop app on their computer as well, did they do this?
Here are the steps they need to follow.
Hi Hannah,
Yes this person did install they Dropbox desktop app. He installed it on his desktop for work and on his laptop for personal/school. Now neither of us have the extra storage as promised.
