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.

  Hi Jay,
  I am having the same issue. I invited a friend of mine [email removed as per Community Guidelines]
  He followed the link and installed the dropbox on his computer. At my https://www.dropbox.com/account/plan page, it only shows COMPLETED in the status against kevin's id. And no space was added.
  
  It has happened before a couple of times but with other referrals as well. Can you help please? Thanks

    In that case, it may be that you've reached your account's maximum referral space.
    
    This is 16 GB for accounts on the Basic plan while it gets doubled when on the Plus, Family or the Professional plan (32GB).
    
    How much space have you earned through referrals so far umairrana75?
