Not getting any more referral space?
My last few referals are just shoiwng as "Completed" whereas before they were 500MB with a tick.
Does that mean im not going to get anymore space?
I am showing the following on my account:
...
- 7 years agoIf you've reached the maximum of 32 referrals, then you won't be able to earn anymore referral bonuses. That number doesn't change even if you subscribe. Just the amount of space you've earned from referrals is doubled retroactively.
i.e. If you've claimed 32 referrals, your bonus space would double from 16GB to 32GB when you subscribe. If you only claimed 10 referrals, you'd have 5GB of space that would double to 10GB if you subscribed.

No one has really cleared up if i can get anymore referal space or not and why some of my referals just say "completed" - until i know i wont be bothering to refer people obviously.
actually looking at Google Drive as a much larger free solution ;-)
- Mark7 years agoSuper User IIIt has been cleared up already.
If it says "completed" you have referred your maximum. That means 32 people have signed up using your link and you've been awarded the full 16gb. - Jay7 years agoDropbox StaffThis is correct, if you complete 32 referrals (shown with the :white_check_mark:), you no longer earn any extra quota from referring other users.The tick showing the 500 MB quota will also vanish for all successful referrals after that, showing just ‘Completed'.
