Invitation to Dropbox too old
Long time ago (2011) I invited my brother to Dropbox, but now that he tries to activate the link, the link does not work - what to do? Thank you in advance!

Hey hekeha, just to clarify, sharing a folder doesn't really count as a referral.
If your brother created an account without using the referral invitation, there's really not much we can do.
If you follow the steps to send a referral on dropbox.com and choose the "copy link" option instead, can your brother sign up through there?
This was a referral but also intended to share a folder.
Thanks, Hannah!

Have you recently tried to send him a referral through your Referrals page? If you only sent him an invitation to join a shared folder, that doesn't count towards a referral.
Yes, I tried to resend the invitation yesterday.
But I am being told automatically, that he has already been invited.
Can this invitation be deleted or made active?- Hannah

Hey Hannah - the copy link option worked, thanks a bunch for your help - you are a star! 😀
Have a fantastic weekend!
