Re:Dropbox for Business on Tuesday January 21, 2014 @08:58AM (#7095204)
In mid 2013 I signed up 22 referred accounts in a VM box for a family member with a newly created Dropbox account. Three months later all 22 inactive accounts were removed, and the extra storage was gone too.

I did it in 2011 as well for my own account and still have the extra storage. I've since upgraded though. Even 15GB is peanuts today...

Your use of "never" is going to bite you in the ass, brother!
Too late?

That depends on the size of operational overhead and opportunity of income.
