Hi Walter / Rich

See 2 screenshots:

These show that I have a Basic+ account with only 25GB of space, yet if I try and upgrade it says I am on a Basics+ account and should have 2TB of space. My account has just renewed and this hasn’t fixed the problem. Please confirm if I should have 25GB or 2TB of space and if the latter, how do I fix my account to show it. Thanks.

You seem to be confusing two different plans; Basic+ and Plus. Basic+ (which isn't widely available, possibly no longer available) appears to offer 25GB of space, while the Plus plan offers 2TB of space. Your current plan appears to cost AU$43.99. The last time I saw an AU price listed for Plus, it was about AU$170 per year.

    So why when I try to upgrade my Basic+ account it says I am already on the Plus. I’ve been with Dropbox for 8 years, and it’s pretty disappointing. I’ve already auto renewed for another 12 months believing I would automatically have the 2TB applied to my account. Looks like I’ll just have to cancel my plan, but I don’t suppose Dropbox care if a customer of 8 years leaves.

      Hey ssnostromo! Hope it’s OK to jump in here, and thanks for using our product for all this time.

       

      What Rich mentioned above is correct; Dropbox Plus offers 2TB of space, but it sounds like you’re currently on Basic+, which offers 25GB instead and is no longer available as a subscription. 

       

      If you still wish to upgrade to our Plus plan though with the 2TB (you can check its pricing here), we can open a ticket for you, and send it to this email address. This way, our support team can further help you.
