I stopped using Dropbox referrals, when I discovered that I could see the e-mail address of the people I had referred - and I assume they could do the same with me.
It felt like an invasion of privacy on both parts, so I asked them to delete my referrals - which, as I recall, they did. I only had two referrals or something.
Yeah, I think that's a little sketchy too. It's fairly okay for the intended use of the referral system but it still seems a bit off. I have used it to send emails to the people who clicked my ads but didn't download Dropbox.

Is this still the case at Dropbox?
