Sharing is referring - up to 30 GB bonus storage
By Asheesh Laroia - 18 Dec 2015
The easiest way to enjoy Sandstorm is on our managed hosting. Now, when you invite your friends to the service, you’ll get up to 30 GB of bonus storage as our way of saying thanks. When you share a grain with a friend, and they make an account and start sharing, that’s a referral.
How it works
You share a grain with a friend (who isn’t already an Oasis user).
Friend signs in.
Friend shares a grain with any person (including you), who successfully opens the grain.
Keeping track of your bonus
To see how you’re progressing, check out the referral program page in the top-right drop-down menu.
Or you can visit the referrals program page directly. Honestly, you should do that right now just to see Néna Nguyễn’s design work.
Paid subscribers can get up to 30 GB of free storage, in addition to the storage from their account level, 2 GB per person they refer. Free account holders can unlock unlimited grains and 50 MB of free storage per person they refer, up to 2 GB total. If you need even more space, you can always upgrade your account.
Common question: I received referral bonus storage for someone I don’t know. How does that happen?
Anyone who signs up for an Oasis account after opening up a grain that you shared counts as your referral. If you tweeted a link or shared a document on a mailing list (e.g., puzzle hunt team, collaborators at work, study group), anyone who found Oasis through you and signs up for an account counts as your referral.
