Dropbox: invite friends - how it works
At Dropbox you can invite friends and earn free extra storage. In this practical tip, we explain how this works and which bonuses you receive for it.
Invite friends to Dropbox and earn space
If you invite your friends to Dropbox, they will receive a download link for the desktop version of the cloud. As soon as you have registered with the service, you and your friend will receive 500 MB of free memory. It works with a total of 32 different friends.
- First open the Dropbox website in your browser and log in with your account data.
- At the top right click on your account name and select the sub-item "Settings".
- There you switch to the "Account" tab.
- In the middle of the website click on the "Invite friends" button.
- Then enter your friends' email addresses in the input field and click "Send". Alternatively, you can use the buttons below to refer friends via Gmail or Facebook.
- Your recruiter must then download the desktop version of Dropbox via the individual link that is sent to them by email and register. You will then automatically receive your additional storage.
