Memory space
When Dropbox was still small and unknown, you received 500Mb of storage space for each new user you brought to Dropbox via an invitation link.
This earned me around 6GB of storage space, which is now apparently suddenly gone.
Dropbox is now asking me to pay for the storage space that I have earned by inviting new users. Dropbox is also threatening to delete my data irrevocably.
This is a disgrace, how do I get my previous storage capacity back?
