How to get more Dropbox storage space for free
Hello everyone!
I wanted to show you exactly what happens and what steps you'll need to follow in order to get more free space in your Dropbox.
From your Account Settings page you see all you...

The only time referral space is removed from an account is when it has been determined that a referral had been earned through illegitimate means. When that happens, all referral space is usually removed.
The only way to know the actual cause is to contact Support.

No, that's not happening. I can't even find a link that says 'Follow Dropbox to get more space'. Was it on the account page? If so, it's not there.

Hey bee4,
If you don't see the "Follow Dropbox on Twitter" that means that you've already completed this task and got the 125 MB .
You can check the space you've earned by going to this page
There you should see listed the Bonus type, the space earned and the date when you completed that action.

Hi Zed
Here's my Bonus Space page listing all the extra space I've earned:
As you can see, the only things I got extra space for are "Why you love Dropbox" and "Follow DB on Twitter". However, the "Connect to Twitter" and "Connect to Facebook" options are missing.
This is what it should look like.
And this is what my Get More Space tab looks like. As you can see, no option to connect Facebook and Twitter.

Hey bee4,
The option to connect yourTwitter and Facebook accounts are now removed as an option - following us on Twitter though can grant you 125 MB of space.
Thanks!

Does the 500MB I got from creating an account through someone's referral link count against the number of referrals I can send? Can I still get 16GB extra space in addition to what i have right now? Or does the fact that I created an account through a referral link mean I can only get 15.5GB extra?
