Can't cancel free trial
I'm trying to cancel my free trial, but I don't have that option. Here's what the instructions say:
The "plan" and "manage plan" are completely absent from my options. I then tried to delete my account altogether, but it told me to cancel any ongoing subscriptions first, and this is what it looks like for me:
As you can see, it doesn't mention a free trial anywhere, but it shows 3TB of space, which implies that I'm being charged for the service with no way of canceling. I've tried looking for phone support, but apparently you need to pay to speak with someone over the phone. I'm afraid I might have to cancel my credit card. Does anyone have any answers?
Hey Red Gerran, sorry to jump in here, but I just wanted to mention that it looks like your trial was indeed cancelled, but you'll get to keep the additional quota till the end of the trial period.

I'm having exactly the same problem - I have a basic plan but have also had an email confirming that if the plan is not cancelled by a certain date I will incur a charge of £216. Have spent the last hour trying to resolve this but without success> How do I talk to a human being?

From what you've described, the account is no longer on a trial. Could you attach a screenshot showing the email you received, and also what you're seeing on this page?

Hey fibut, thanks for reaching out.
It looks like this is a different Dropbox account from the juliaT one, is this the same person posting?
If so, it seems you have two Dropbox accounts, so you'll need to make sure which plan you're on, while logged in to both of them; perhaps it's the second one that's on a trial.
Let us know what you find.

I dont know who Julia T is!
I just have the one acct - I sent you the requested screen shots from my only acct - thanks

PS Julia T jumped on the chat because she is obviously having the same issue as me!
Please can you clarify whether I have a Free Trial that needs cancelling - as per the email screenshot in this thread? Thanks

Hey fibut - sorry to jump in here, but I just wanted to mention that it sounds like your trial was indeed cancelled and you won't get charged for it.
That said, note that you might have gotten this email notification by mistake or before the trial was cancelled.

Thanks. I think I’ll have to wait and see next week whether I get charged - hoping I don’t because I can’t find any trace of the Free Trial mentioned in the email warning from Dropbox 🤞🏻🤞🏻🤞🏻
