Phone number for technical support
I am having ongoing issues trying to get my Dropbox files to sync with my desktop. I am probably a few months behind on files on my desktop as this computer had to be taken to IT for some repairs. I left it running for more than 24 hours and it's just not working right. I have followed all of the troubleshooting guides online. Does anyone have a phone number so I can actually talk to someone from Dropbox?
Hello everyone,
Every Dropbox user can reach our Support team by submitting a ticket support request at www.dropbox.com/support .
Replies take approximately 1 - 3 business days with Business and Pro users getting priority (longer for Basic users).
Dropbox offers tech support over the phone for Dropbox Business teams on an Advanced or Enterprise plan .
However, for security reasons Dropbox can only provide phone tech support to admins of these teams.
We take security seriously, and work hard to ensure your files and accounts remain safe. This is the reason our phone number is not publically displaye. We require account verification in order to ensure that we're providing support to an authorized admin. This account verification is only available via the admin console.
If you find a Dropbox tech support phone number on a search engine or elsewhere that claims to lead to Dropbox support, it is not affiliated with Dropbox. Dropbox does not offer phone support other than what is described in this article. Be careful to avoid scams or other attempts to capture your account data.
If you have a specific question, please review our Dropbox Community for related solved problems or createt your own thread and we'll glad happy to assist!
Thank you!

Dropbox does not have phone support *, its either here or through the ticket system.
- Phone support is available for business customers whom are paying for business rate plan. No they also do not accept onetime support payments.
You can always explain here and we can try to help you as best as possible. Many of us have gone through the exact same type of things over the years.

They MUST install Dropbox on to a unique computer. So if they installed an APP from an APP STORE to a mobile/tablet etc. that does not qualify under the terms of the promotion.

Question about running out of space. Owner upgrades, paying $99/yr. File sharing member gets "Your Dropbox is Full" message at login. Does each file sharing member have to fork out the $99 each, or does that only apply to the owner?

Does each file sharing member have to fork out the $99 each
Yes - basically.
Every person within a share needs enough quota to access the share.
If the share is under the amount of data in their account, however, they wont - e.g. if they've extra space via referrals / promos etc.

I just discovered that a large amount of files were deleted on 8/22/2015. I tried to open the 'trash can', but it was grayed out. I looked for the 'and many more' option, but each file is individual - no option to select multiple or all. I tried to submit a ticket, but was asked for 'deletion event' link, but no luck there either! I think the issue started when I tried to move space-grubbing files from my samsung android devices to sd cards. Please advise

I am being charged monthly for an upgraded subscription that I would like to end. When I login to my account it shows a basic plan yet every month I'm hit with a 9.99 fee from Dropbox. How do I end my subscription and the charge? Because the acct isn't showing I cannot downgrade as the instructions suggest.
