Invitation to Dropbox too old

[hekeha]

Long time ago (2011) I invited my brother to Dropbox, but now that he tries to activate the link, the link does not work - what to do?
Thank you in advance!

Hey @hekeha, thanks for posting to our Community.

Can you please let me know what you were trying to do with this inivitation?

Was this a referral, so you can gain extra space? Or perhaps an invitation to a shared folder?

Let me know and we'll go from there.

This was a referral but also intended to share a folder.
Thanks, Hannah!

Have you recently tried to send him a referral through your Referrals page? If you only sent him an invitation to join a shared folder, that doesn't count towards a referral.

[hekeha]

Yes, I tried to resend the invitation yesterday.

But I am being told automatically, that he has already been invited.
Can this invitation be deleted or made active?

Hey @hekeha, just to clarify, sharing a folder doesn't really count as a referral.

If your brother created an account without using the referral invitation, there's really not much we can do.

If you follow the steps to send a referral on dropbox.com and choose the "copy link" option instead, can your brother sign up through there?

Hey Hannah - the copy link option worked, thanks a bunch for your help - you are a star! 😀

Have a fantastic weekend!

Happy to hear that, @hekeha!

If you need anything else, don't hesitate to let us know.

Have a great day!
