How to get more Dropbox storage space for free

Hello everyone!

 

I wanted to show you exactly what happens and what steps you'll need to follow in order to get more free space in your Dropbox.

From your Account Settings page you see all your current space and all the space you've earned.

 

To begin earning more free space, you can visit the Dropbox Get more space page here

 

From this page you can invite your friends to join Dropbox by emailing them, sending them a direct link to join or sharing your invitation on Facebook. You can earn up to 16 GB !

 

------------------

Finally, can check the space you've earned by going to this page and you'll have a detailed list of all the actions you've taken and how much free space you've earned!

 

If you have any trouble with this process or feedback and ideas about this, feel free to leave your comments below and I'll get back to you or reach us on @DropboxSupport on Twitter and our team will be happy to note your feedback and assist you!

Have a great day all!

Hello, I like your service 🙂 But I would like to ask you next question: why you haven't tariff plan like the google drive? I don't need 1Tb disk , and it expensive to pay 10$ per mounth. I would be ready pay 40$ per year for 100Gb or 50 Gb. It will be grate if you make not only buissness tariff. Thank you 🙂

Lots of threads with official replies around if you read them, but, basically they lose money on them as too many people downgrade from the higher paying tariffs.

Hello,

 

Could I please add some space on my account? I went through your plans but I don't need 2 TB of storage. I would be very happy with 2-3 GB of quota boost. 

 

Thanks for looking into this.

I am answering to this post:

How to get more Dropbox storage space for free

 

1)

Some links mentioned in that post don't work and show error 4xx:

https://www.dropbox.com/account/personal?show_earned_space=True#referrals

https://www.dropbox.com/account/personal

 

2)

"From this page you can invite your friends to join Dropbox by emailing them, sending them a direct link to join or sharing your invitation on Facebook."

 

I did it and it didn't work:

(I went to Dropbox web environment / folder / copy link, then my friend registered and installed a Windows app)

You didn't invite someone to join Dropbox. You sent them a shared link to a file or folder. That's not the same as sending a referral invite, and doesn't work as a referral. The link you have to send to someone is the referral link from your Referrals page. Unfortunately, since your friend already registered, there's no way to earn a referral for their account.
