How long does a referral last?

When you earn storage space from referring a friend, how long do you have the increase storage capacity before it is reduced back down to the "basic" free storage of 2GB?

    Space earned through referrals does not expire.

      If earned increased storage space does not expire, then I should have significantly more than the standard 2GB, as I once had at least 8 or 10 Gb.  So do you know who I can contact to see what I must do to get that earned storage reapplied to my dropbox account?

        Hey JDWJR9, sorry to jump in here, but could you take a look at your account's plan tab and let us know what it reports in regards to your quota?

         

        Do you see your referrals listed there?
