How to get more Dropbox storage space for free
Hello everyone!
I wanted to show you exactly what happens and what steps you'll need to follow in order to get more free space in your Dropbox.
From your Account Settings page you see all you...

The only time referral space is removed from an account is when it has been determined that a referral had been earned through illegitimate means. When that happens, all referral space is usually removed.
The only way to know the actual cause is to contact Support.

my dropbox standard is about 8GB thanks to referrals, i'd like to share a big folder (about 3GB) with some friends who have a new standard account (2GB). can i do that? i mean do they need to have 3GB free space or the space limit that counts is only the space available to the creator of the folder?
same question put in other words, if i upgrade to dropbox plus and gain 1TB, then can i share a giant folder with friends who have a standard account?
