    Hi everyone,
     
    Here is some key info on cancelling accounts and refunds: 
     
    If you want to claim a valid refund, you need to contact support for assistance. This is the safest way to process your personal info (i.e. bank account details, invoices etc) instead on our public forum. 
     

     

    :dart: Tip: Visit the support page while you're NOT signed in to a Dropbox account and the Community Forum, and you'll see an option for Billing issues. 
     

     

     

     

     

     
    To cancel a paid Dropbox plan, you can follow these instructions. When cancelling, your account will change to Dropbox Basic at the end of your current billing cycle (monthly or yearly) and you should not be charged again. 
     
    Apple/Direct Debit 
    If you purchased your Dropbox subscription via the Apple App Store, you need to reach out to Apple directly to request a refund. Apple's refund policy covers purchases made in the last 90 days only. More info here. 
     
    If you paid for your Dropbox subscription by direct debit, you are able to request a chargeback through your bank, you can contact them to request a refund.
     
    If you did not create a Dropbox subscription and/or do not recognize the charge:
     
    • Check your billing information (if you have an account). Log in to dropbox.com > Click your avatar (profile picture or initials) in the top-right corner > Click Settings > Click Billing.

     

    • You can also use our Look up tool to check a credit or debit card purchase

     

    • Contact support if you don’t have an account and/or would like to report an unauthorised transaction. 
    Notes on refunds:
    • If you live in the EU, UK, or Turkey, you qualify for a refund should you cancel your Dropbox Plus, Family, Professional, or Essentials subscription within 14 days of the initial purchase. You can contact support to request it.
    • Refunds are often not offered for Dropbox subscriptions and team member licences.
    • You're able to cancel your Paid Account at any time. Refunds are only issued if required by law, so make sure to cancel before your current billing cycle ends if you wish. 
     
    Hope this helps!

Is anyone else having the most impossible time trying to contact anyone at dropbox? There are all these tabs that claim all this help is available but every single tab that allegedly allows me to speak with someone concerning a refund just happen not to work. I filled in all the required fields and hit submit but the button seems to not be linked to anything. Am I the only one experiencing this or is this Dropbox's way of robbing it's users of their money?

Hi JonathanWick, welcome to our Community! 

 

Does this behavior regarding our Support access, happen on a specific browser, or all of them? Feel free to also try an incognito tab on your current browser, and let me know. 

 

If you're still facing issues with that, let me know and I'll open a ticket on my end for you!

 

Keep me posted, and we'll take it from there!

    I have tried multiple browsers and still am unable to get any of the submit or chat buttons to work.
