Dropbox doubles referral numbers to 500MB, but punishes Sense cheaters


Dropbox is upping the amount of free space per referral to 500MB from 250MB, which is the first indication that the service is becoming a bit more liberal about dishing out its space. Perhaps a price drop will follow? For every referral both the originator and the recipient will gain an extra 500MB, to a maximum of 16GB. Pro users get 1GB per referral up to a maximum of 32GB free.

But the company is also dropping the axe on users who are gaming the upcoming Sense 4.0 promotion for a free 25GB in space. According to the company, they have detected whether a user has downloaded and installed a custom .apk file that tricks the server into thinking it’s a legitimate Sense 4.0 device (such as the upcoming HTC One X or One S). These users will have their tallies removed in the coming days. A company spokesperson said, “The method to earn 23GB that is being circulated… on blogs and forums is illegitimate. We plan to remove any space received using this method.”

Dropbox is a popular cloud sync solution that is available across multiple platforms including Android, iOS, Windows and OS X.
