Dropbox StaffHow 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 your current space and all the space you've earned.
To begin earning more free space, you can visit the Dropbox Get more space page here.
From this page you can invite your friends to join Dropbox by emailing them, sending them a direct link to join or sharing your invitation on Facebook. You can earn up to 16 GB !
------------------
Finally, can check the space you've earned by going to this page and you'll have a detailed list of all the actions you've taken and how much free space you've earned!
If you have any trouble with this process or feedback and ideas about this, feel free to leave your comments below and I'll get back to you or reach us on @DropboxSupport on Twitter and our team will be happy to note your feedback and assist you!
Have a great day all!
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.

I have found the Help pagehttps://help.dropbox.com/space/earn-space-referring-friends and at Step#4 there is no "Invite a friend" option on this Settings page. It only allows me to "Upgrade" the account. It is already a "Personal" account. I am at 2.27G of 2G account and only need a little bit more space so i don't have to do a full-on upgrade. Please help!

Only got the option to Follow on Twitter and share why I like Dropbox. How do I get the rest?

It actually looks like those options have been removed.
Which link are you using?- Thanks for a quick reply. This one: https://www.dropbox.com/getspace
Hi,
I am inviting my friends to get 500MB free space.
Btw, I couldn't find the link to "the status of my referrals".
It was in "Setting" but it has gone when I invite three friends.
Please help me.

It's on your Account page. Click the View all space earned link.

I want to share dropbox via facebook but when I try to post it says nothing was posted and asks me to close the window. I am trying to get free space but it will not allow me to do it.

You'll need to speak to Facebook about it I'm afraid as its their site having the issue.
However, it isnt unheard of that Facebook bans, even temporarily, Dropbox links due to spamming. If you give it a few days it may work.

Hey jpeterson6426,
Thanks for getting in touch on the Dropbox Community about this query!
Please keep in mind that the option to get more space by connecting to Facebook is no longer available, though I've moved your thread here, since on the first page of this thread there are all available options to get some more space by connecting on social media :dart: :robot:.
Happy Dropboxing ahead and a great weekend!
- Can you receive space using Facebook?
- RichNo. That option no longer exists.
ty for guide!
I've been Googling how to get more Dropbox space for free. This is by far the most helpful source. Thanks so much!
Hello,
Could I please add some space on my account? I went through your plans but I don't need 2 TB of storage. I would be very happy with 2-3 GB of quota boost.
Thanks for looking into this.

"From this page you can invite your friends to join Dropbox by emailing them, sending them a direct link to join or sharing your invitation on Facebook."
I did it and it didn't work:
(I went to Dropbox web environment / folder / copy link, then my friend registered and installed a Windows app)

The items mentioned were moved to a new Referrals page.
2) I went to Dropbox web environment / folder / copy link, then my friend registered and installed a Windows app)You didn't invite someone to join Dropbox. You sent them a shared link to a file or folder. That's not the same as sending a referral invite, and doesn't work as a referral. The link you have to send to someone is the referral link from your Referrals page. Unfortunately, since your friend already registered, there's no way to earn a referral for their account.
