Dropbox doubles up on referral bonuses Folder and cloud sync service Dropbox has announced that referral bonuses will be doubled for the future.
Instead of the normal 250MB you get from referring someone who signs up for the service, you will now get an extra 500MB of space with a cap of 16GB.

Additionally, the person signing up will get an extra 500MB of free space to start the account, while Pro users will get 1GB with a cap of 32GB.

If you have been making referrals in the past, you will be receiving the new extra space, as well, over the next few days.

Until this week, the "double space" program had been available only to users with .edu accounts, aka students.

Box has a very limited "per file" restriction. I believe you cannot upload a file larger than 100MB making that 50GB practically useless.
