Hi,
So if the brother is using dropbox install in a desktop and invite his sister and the brother log out from the dropbox and let the sister to register on the same desktop, is this a considered a valid invite and setup? If yes, will the brother get the free storage?
No. Because it isnt a unique device - it may work but it will more than likely flag it as abuse and so not issue any free space at all. Too many of those like that and Dropbox may remove all referral space issued.
Hey @DAVEN L. - sorry to hear you're having issues with this.
Can you please let us know what exactly is not working for you so that we can advise further?
Thanks so much!

Inviting doesnt get you the space, them accepting the invite and installing on a computer gets the space (note a mobile device does not count).
You can see referral status' at www.dropbox.com/referral_status

You've not answered any question....
Also, note that there is a limitation to Dropbox of 32 referrals. After that you stop getting space.
So are you saying, only new uses accept invites and install either in laptop or desktop counts?
So how do i know whether i hit that 32 referrals?

Yes.
That has always been the case. For it to be a valid referral they need to install on to a unique (i.e. not used before) desktop or laptop. Mobiles and tablets dont, and never have, counted.

I use the link to see the history only 23 has genuinely installed the Dropbox after my invitation.
