Dropbox Professional trial ended and I got charged. How to cancel and get a refund?
Dropbox Plan
Dropbox Professional
Payment Method
credit card
How did you upgrade?
I "upgraded" by missing the cancellation deadline by one day.
Question or Issue
I signed up for a Dropbox Professional Trial a month ago, to receive some data from a consulting client. I had a family emergency yesterday, on the day that my one month Dropbox trial expired. I was upgraded and renewed for a full year. I was expecting a monthly subscription. I need to cancel and to obtain a refund.
I have not moved one byte of data through Dropbox since my subscription was switched over to the paid subscription. My client might not have any more data to send me. I can accept paying for one month of service, but I do not need a year.
Thank you.

You choose which option you want when setting up the trial. Dropbox also does warn and email people before it charges.
To add to what Dell said, please do be aware that subscriptions are generally non-refundable unless required by law.
