    Thanks Rich. I've found my subscription to a Plus account (I appeared to have created two Dropbox accounts) and cancelled it.

Did you give Dropbox your card information? If you added it here (or an App Store etc.) then the charge is genuine and you've almost certainly not cancelled a free trial. If you did not then somebody has cloned your card and so you need to speak to your card provider. 

 

To contact support go to www.dropbox.com/support WHILE NOT LOGGED IN - even to here. So try an incognito window. This may also help you find the upgraded account: https://help.dropbox.com/billing/find-credit-card-charge

    I did not give my card information to Dropbox or consent to an upgrade, I just did a basic free plan and got money deducted now from my account
    I want a refund as I did not consent to upgrade or have money taken from my card for any subscriptions

      I have the same issue. I've been trying to get in touch with a human being working for Dropbox through their website, but this keeps me going around in circles. I've 'chatted' with the chatbox. Didn't help either. I've never done a free Dropbox Plus trial. I just have a Basic account. Yet the amount has been withdrawn from my bank account. Unfortunately, none of the details shown on my bank statement matches the 12-digit alphanumeric code that Dropbox asks for on their 'Help' pages. Never before have I done business with a company that is so difficult to reach.

        I've been charged for a Dropbox Plus account, but I only have a Basic account. There's no way I can get in touch with the company. Customer service seems non-existent. What do I need to do to get my money back?
