Earn more storage space on Dropbox for free

What is Dropbox?

Dropbox is a file hosting service operated by the American company Dropbox, Inc.

How much Storage space do I have?

Depending on the type of subscription, Dropbox offers you different amounts of space.
We're here to talk about the free plan which is what you get when you first create a Dropbox account.
With this plan, all you get is 2GB, which is, in most cases, not sufficient in case you depend a lot on cloud storage services, or you prefer to store your documents and data on the cloud.

How can I increase my storage space?

Glad you asked, Dropbox itself will ask you to go premium and tempt you into buying more space with a Dropbox Plus plan!

Whilst paying for a premium subscription will grant you access to 2TB of storage space and other advantages, there's a workaround to get up to 16 GB of storage for free.

Just visit Dropbox website on your browser and head to your account settings and then choose "refer a friend" from the tabs. Here's the link to it in case you couldn't find your way there: "Referals", after that you'll read :

Get up to 16 GB for referrals
Earn 500 MB for every friend who installs the Dropbox desktop app—and your friend will get 500 MB too. ...

Next thing to do is copy the invite link Dropbox provides
Share that link with your friends and family and you'll earn 500MB for each person clicking your link and signing up for a Dropbox account. and they also get a bonus of 500 MB.

Extra out of charge 500 MB

If you don't have Dropbox app installed on your device yet or you just want to test it out, use my referral link https://www.dropbox.com/referrals/AADxXRDPeFLUNQUWs2JaYYR627TXlpI7H3Y?src=global9 and you'll get extra 500, I get extra 500, everyone happy 😄 .
