    Just updating this in case anyone else is searching for a solution to the same problem.

    If you have purchased your plan through the App Store and Dropbox is not allowing you access to your account, go to Settings (the gear mark in the top right corner) and scroll down to Restore Purchases. This works from any device you are logged in to. I couldn’t open my iPhone app but I restored from my iPad and now everything is back to normal.

    Also if you need to contact Dropbox customer service, a DM on Twitter is probably the fastest, easiest way.

Since support is 100% useless I’ll try this here. I am trying to upgrade my plan to plus in the iOS app. I do the trial, finish the subscription purchase through iTunes, it says purchase complete, then says failed to upgrade. I am still subscribed and would eventually get charged through iTunes, but it won’t actually upgrade to the benefits I’ll be charged for

    Hey tararobinphotography, sorry to see you're having trouble.

     

    Can you give us some more info on the exact issue?

     

    Did you pay for an upgrade, but the plan hasn't been updated?

     

    And if so, did you upgrade your account through our website or the mobile app?
