Today, we?re really happy to announce that we?ve doubled the amount of free space you get for

inviting friends to Dropbox!

How much space is that, exactly? For every friend you invite that installs Dropbox, you?ll both get 500 MB of free space. If you?ve got a free account, you can invite up to 32 people for a whopping total of 16 GB of extra space. Pro accounts now earn 1 GB per referral, for a total of 32 GB of extra space. Have you already invited a bunch of people? Don?t worry. Within a few days, you?ll get full credit for every referral that?s already been completed. Boom!

Once upon a time, we noticed that Dropbox spread fastest via word of mouth. We?ve always believed that sharing is caring, so we rolled out this referral program to make recommending Dropbox an even sweeter deal. Back then, we gave out only 250 MB per invite. Then we doubled the space for students for inviting friends, and they liked it so much we decided to give it to everyone!

Wow, I still have the default 2GB of space. Did you all upgrade your account to get more space, or is that just from referrals?

You can get more by doing the tutorial, linking an educational email, referrals, the photo import from a while ago (already void), etc.

You don't have to, as long as they sign up I think is all that's required!

Nope, just tried with some extra mails I have and they only give you the extra space if the account installs the desktop sync app. I made a virtual box for that, but making the 16 I need to get all the extra space seems a lot of work for me.

Read the news on Dropbox blog yesterday and last night I was upgraded to 15GB from 10GB! Still lots of invites left.

You don't have to, as long as they sign up I think is all that's required!

Only signup won't give you the space, the person you are inviting must install dropbox on their computer and log in to complete the signup process.

    • Dbrand thought they could get away with this Steam Machine case, Valve disagreed

      Didn’t Dbrand once complain that Casetify was ripping off their designs a well? seems pretty bad of them to try and get around Valve’s copyright this way with that in mind.
    • Dbrand thought they could get away with this Steam Machine case, Valve disagreed

      Dbrand thought they could get away with this Steam Machine case, Valve disagreed by David Uzondu Image via Dbrand Dbrand has cancelled its highly anticipated Companion Cube enclosure for the Valve Steam Machine, which it teased back in November of last year with a concept render and sign-up page, because it did not ask Valve for permission first before manufacturing the case. According to Dbrand, it took the "backwards approach" of building the product first before asking for permission from the copyright holder. Seven months of work went into the project, requiring over a thousand engineering hours from the design team. Workers developed forty-four sets of injection molding tools, making a unique mold for each sub-component of the crate. When the Companion Cube went live on Monday last week, it, according to Dbrand, quickly became the second-fastest-selling product in the company's fifteen-year history, racking up orders for hundreds of thousands of units. Customers eagerly bought the $129.95 deluxe edition or the bare-bones $99.95 version, which the manufacturer cheekily branded as the "Poverty Cube". It was around this time that the legal eagles at Valve descended on the accessory maker with a formal demand. The developer pointed out that the iconic block design remains protected intellectual property from the game Portal, so unlicensed sales had to stop. Dbrand said that all its pleas to salvage the project with the Valve team, including proposals to run a properly licensed release under official terms "with their blessing", fell on deaf ears, so it had no choice but to obey and remove every trace of the product from the internet. If you bought the enclosure, the company said that banks will process your refund by the end of this week, but if it still hasn't arrived in your account by then, you should not hesitate to contact support. The Steam Machine itself is a high-performance console that Valve designed directly to bring PC gaming into the living room. It was announced on 12th November 2025 (the same day Dbrand announced the Cube) and runs on the Linux-based SteamOS, the same OS that powers the Steam Deck. As for the price, due to the shortage of memory and storage chips, the hardware cost landed much higher than people were expecting, starting at $1,049 for the 512 model (without a controller) or $1,128 with the new gamepad. The premium 2 TB model pushes those prices even higher, selling at $1,349 for the standalone console and hitting $1,428 if you want the bundle.
