How can I get more free space?
Hi, im looking to get more free space. i did all the free offers and invited friends but i went to invite another friend and i did not get the 500MB credit. is there a limit? thanks
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
- Good afternoon! My tariff is basic, the volume is 2.75 GB. My friend created a free account and he has a volume of 5 GB (i.e. basic). Can I increase my storage capacity to 5 GB?

Hi Aleksej_82
Your friend cannot automatically get an account of 5gb. The free account starts at 2gb, so you yourself already have additional space. If he has extra space he has aquired it from somewhere.

Hi Aleksj, Certainly, you can increase your storage in Dropbox through both free and paid plans.
To earn free storage space for free up to 18 GB, you can complete the Dropbox getting started checklist or refer your friends, family, and coworkers.
But if you want more space you can pay to upgrade to Dropbox Plus to get 2 TB of storage space or Dropbox Professional to get 3 TB of storage space. If you have a Plus or Professional account and work with two or more colleagues, you may want to consider upgrading to a Dropbox team account, which starts at 5 TB of storage space.
Please feel free to ask the community if you need further clarification on any of these free or paid plans
Yes, You can earn extra space by inviting your friends to try out Dropbox, here are the limits:
- Dropbox Baic accounts get 500 MB per referral and can earn up to 16 GB!
- Dropbox Plus and Professional accounts get 1 GB per referral and can earn up to 32 GB!
Dropbox = D for DEFINITELY AWESOME!
Here are two easy peasy ways to win some free extra space:
1. Complete the "Dropbox getting started checklist"
I got 125 MB for it back in 2013 and it helped me.
Thank you, Dropbox!
2. Contribute to the forum.
If Dropbox likes your answer, they'll award you free storage.
Maybe for this response, I'll get some free storage :).
Thank you in advance, Dropbox, you are AWESOME!
- You can join the community for free space also
I surely would like to know more about that! 😅..... Anyone?

Hey brunovieira, I was just on the other post you commented, so make sure to check that out.
Here's an article about the ways to get some extra space in your account.
I hope this helps!
Hello
Would you check if the friend you invited joined Dropbox?
Your friend must sign up for Dropbox to receive additional capacity.Yes, the ones I sent was accepted. I sent more about 40 I'd say I didn't know it was maxed out. thank you!

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.
Thank you for the quick reply. Yes, I have done all those. thank you!
