    Yes there is - there is a limit of 32 referrals. Note as well that you dont get space for inviting, you get space for the invitee accepting and joining Dropbox using a unique computer

    Hello
    Would you check if the friend you invited joined Dropbox?
    Your friend must sign up for Dropbox to receive additional capacity.

    Yes, the ones I sent was accepted. I sent more about 40 I'd say I didn't know it was maxed out. thank you!

    I have invited a friend and he has installed Dropbox both on his cellphone and computer, but I still didn't get the additional 500MB.

    Hi mokh, are you certain that they've installed the Dropbox desktop application, under the same email address you invited them to?

     

    As per Rich, try checking the status of your referral and let us know what you see!

    Thank you Jay & Rich. Seems the invitee has not installed the Dropbox PC via the invite link.
