Hi Team,

 

I've referred my mum to dropbox and helped her sign in on a family laptop to share bills and files. 

 

The referral status is ineligible, could you please check this? 

 

Thanks

That would make it ineligible as each referral must install Dropbox on a unique computer (one never having Dropbox before).

Hey @J23, hope you’re doing well! 

 

Just to clarify, have you used Dropbox on the same laptop in the past? 

 

Also, did she create a brand new Dropbox account? 

 

You can also check this section of Help Center for more info.

 

Let me know, and we can take it from there.

Hi Nancy, 

 

The account is brand new. 

 

The laptop has previously had dropbox as it's a shared device. 

 

Thanks.
