Over the last few days, I have invited four people to use dropbox via the referral link, hoping to benefit from the referral bonus. Two of these invites were genuine: to other people who have seen me use dropbox and appreciated it's functionality. However, in each case, they clicked on the link, signed up, downloaded the app (onto a computer that has never had it installed before, I have read these forums) - and both times on my referral page it came up as ineligible.
So, I decided to test it out further, and used two of my burner emails. I have two old computers that again, have never had dropbox installed, so followed the same process and, again, ineligible.
Why does it not work? Which part have I missed? I thought the limit was 16gb, but it seems I've been capped at 4.25gb.
