I can't find my settings in order to send a referral to a friend

I have the basic plan, so can't run this issue by support. I want to refer a friend for more storage space. I'm pretty sure I do not have a "team" account, which I understand makes one ineligible to refer a friend and get additional storage. 

When I go to my avatar, there are no "settings" in the menu and thus no option to "refer a friend."

Rather, I get "preferences" in leiu of "settings" and no ability to refer a friend. 

I think I've clicked everywhere to see if there is a work-around, but I can't find anything, and again can't ask dropbox support.

Ideas? Thanks.

    You're in the wrong place. You don't do this from the Dropbox application. It's done from the Dropbox website, or you can just access your Referrals page directly.
