Can't access my old email, need to cancel subscription
Hi there,
I have 2 dropbox accounts, currently signed into one of them. I am unable to sign into my other dropbox account as the email address is from a workplace I am no longer at, I no longer have access to it. I have forgotten the password to the account and can't reset it because I don't have access to the email. I need to cancel the premium Dropbox subscription on the account and delete the account. How can I do this without having access to the email address? I have an invoice from dropbox showing the Premium monthly charge as proof that it is my account.

Hi Pert, I was able to locate your previous ticket number, and I can see that it was closed due to inactivity, before we were able to help, and cancel any possible charges on our end.
Have you tried to contact Dropbox Support directly for this?
You can visit the Support page while you're not signed in to a Dropbox account, including these forums, and you'll see an option for Billing issues. It's best to use an Incognito or Private browsing session to make sure you're not signed in.
Once you do, feel free to send me the ticket number reference, in order for me to locate it on my end.
Let me know more!

Hi Megan I did as you said. However, I didn't see any ticket number it just said that they would contact me in one to two business days.

Hey Pert, perhaps the form wasn't submitted correctly; did you use a private browsing/incognito window?
- Pert3 years agoExplorer | Level 4
Yes, I used private browsing.

Hey Pert, sorry to jump in here, but would it be OK if we reached out via email to the email address that's linked to your profile here on our Community to have a further look internally?
- Pert3 years agoExplorer | Level 4

I also have this issue, I have just been charged the full annual amount for a dropbox account that I need to cancel. I cannot remember the password and the account is linked to an old company address at a workplace that I no longer work for. I need to cancel the account and ideally get a refund. Please could dropbox support help with this?

- ScubaDevo2 years agoExplorer | Level 3I gave the same issue. I need to cancel an old Dropbox subscription but I don't remember the password and I no longer have access to the email address associated with it. The company closed.
