    Yes there is - there is a limit of 32 referrals. Note as well that you dont get space for inviting, you get space for the invitee accepting and joining Dropbox using a unique computer

    I have invited a friend and he has installed Dropbox both on his cellphone and computer, but I still didn't get the additional 500MB.

      You can review the status of your referrals on your Plan page.

      Hi mokh, are you certain that they've installed the Dropbox desktop application, under the same email address you invited them to?

       

      As per Rich, try checking the status of your referral and let us know what you see!

        Thank you Jay & Rich. Seems the invitee has not installed the Dropbox PC via the invite link.
