Can I cancel my subscription and get a new one without losing all my stuff?

Hi! I'm trying to change my billing info from an american card to a swedish card. It look like i need to cancel my subscription in order to change currency. My question is if I can cancel my subscription and resubscribe with a swedish card without losing all my stuff on dropbox or if everything will disappear? (I have 3TB worth of data stored on dropbox)

  • Hi

     

    It'll be fine 🙂

     

    What will happen is it may stop syncing for a bit (i.e. give error you are over quota) as you need that bit to happen before you can change card country. However, all files/data will stay!

      Hi, I cancelled my subscription which downgraded the account and is flagging that I'm over quota - all as suggested. However, I now cannot update my card or billing country. Can you please advise?

       

      Thanks,

        Hey KdubW!

         

        Are you receiving any error messages when trying to re-upgrade your Dropbox account? If yes, feel free to upload a screenshot of what you see (just make sure your billing info is hidden).
