Thanks for the screenshots! Appreciate it. I’ve gone ahead and removed your personal info in the meantime, since this is a public forum.
However, if you compare the two email addresses on both your devices, there’s a dot added to the email address on your desktop app.
What you can do, in this case, is log out of your desktop app and use the exact same email address you see on your iPhone’s mobile app to sign back in on your computer. You should be seeing your paid account on both devices after that.

7 months agoHi rocketmav, do you get any errors when trying to locate the account using our self-serve look up tool?
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.
Keep me posted!

Thanks for the update here, rocketmav.
I'd like you to check a couple of things, to see if we can find where the issue lies.
Firstly, you mentioned that you have the same account on your iPhone and your Windows computer, but one shows as Plus and the other shows as Basic.
When referring to your Windows computer, are you referring to the plan you see when logging in to Dropbox.com? Or the account linked to the Dropbox desktop app on that computer?
