This one is not open to everyone. Whether you can invite anybody depends on your account, and it is offered in-product rather than advertised.
Share your Dropbox invite link
We hold no link for this one — nobody can have an account everywhere. Add yours and it goes in front of the next person who asks.
If we already hold a link for this one, yours goes on file rather than live — we swap it in if it turns out to be the better offer.
What Dropbox pays for inviting a friend
- Program type
- Refer a friend — run by the vendor
- Qualifies on
- Four steps, all required: the friend signs up via your link, installs the desktop app, signs in from it, and verifies their email
- Payout delay
- —
- Cap
- 16 GB total on Basic; 32 GB on paid plans
- Availability
- Not geo-restricted; the limit is by plan — team and Business members cannot refer
