Double Charges on Dropbox
Hi, I have been double charged for your service and my account downgraded. How do I speak to someone as I don't live my life on message boards ?

Please keep checking that email thread, as our team will get back to you there.
Thanks!

I have been using Dropbox for 4 years, my card has been charged every 9/1 USD 125. This year it happened as usually USD 125 on 9/1, but one month later my card has been charged again, USD 180 on 10/1.
I spent 3 days talking to chat, bank, exchanging emails and... Dropbox won, they charged me USD 180, I don't know what for, they don't know either, but I lost USD 180.
they asked me to open a dispute with my bank and simply ignored.
I'm disappointed, feel robbed, but what one, simple consumer can do when working with one of the largest IPOs in tech. I'm simply nobody.

Hey Peter Sperski, thanks for reaching out to the Dropbox Community.
It sounds strange that our support team could not locate the payment in question; can you please give us the ticket number for the communication, so we can check it out?

as I wrote, I have been talking to your team for past 3 days and called bank multiply times. some of the tickets are
22743511, 22735940, 22741994, 22741887, 22735476, 22735406. today morning (I'm based in Taiwan) I was told that despite providing transaction ID, authorization code noone can find the transfer and a manager is dealing with it. in the evening (TW) James replied "open a dispute for this case. I can not find it.If you need further assistance, please don't hesitate to contact me."
I called bank again and they said - THIS IS BLACK AND WHITE - DROPBOX CHARGED YOU!
AFTER 3 DAYS NOTHING SOUNDS STRANGE TO ME IF IT IS ABOUT DROPBOX. SHAME!!!
- Peter Sperski2 years agoExplorer | Level 3
you, including managers have been looking to this for 4 days.
I wrote - I'm nobody... now you will send me hundreds of messages... and I will give yo USD 180.
James already replied "open a dispute for this case. I can not find it. If you need further assistance, please don't hesitate to contact me."
bank stated veryt clearly - DROPBOX ISSUE

Bank has proved this is Dropbox charge, I spent 4 days providing all info you requested. DROPBOX could not find the charge, so I'm paying for service I did not order. DROPBOX marked this case as closed.
FOR GOD SAKE - 9/1 is a Dropbox charge, you agreed charge happened. 10/1 - I have prove from bank this is exactly the same company.
DROPBOX MARKED THIS CASE AS CLOSED AND ASKED ME HOW SATISFIED M I WITH YOUR SERVICE.
YOU LITERALY DID NOTHING TO HELP ME. SATISFIED - ARE YOU KIDDING?
- Kwitt2 years agoNew member | Level 2Can someone contact me asap please on the email that is set to my acccount- I cannot figure out how to stop this double payment or why it started of its own accord to charge me double every month

Hey Kwitt, sorry to hear that.
Are these all credit card charges? Or perhaps iTunes/Google Play ones?
If it's credit card charges, you can use our lookup tool to look them up and see which account they're for.
Let me know what you find.

Even though my account has been paid up until April 2024, Dropbox appears to have denied me access. Contacting support is impossible. Chatting with support was like chatting with a bot. By my reckoning, Dropbox has closed my account with four months still to go, and is making it impossible for me to update my billing details. I ended up registering again in the hope that I would access my existing account. Now it appears Drop box is charging me double for 4 months.
