    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!
    Sam

    Thanks for the ticket ID TraceyW - I wasn't able to find it in our system though.

     

    Would it be OK if we reach out via the email that's connected to your profile here on our Community to have a further look into this matter?

    You'll need to contact Dropbox Support directly. 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.

     

     

    Dropbox cannot charge you if they don't have your billing information. If you've been charged and didn't give them your billing information, then someone else has and you should be contacting your bank.

    Can I get a refund? I subscribed to a yearly professional dropbox subscription by accident after a free 30 day trial that I forgot to cancel. I recently found this out and want to know if I can please get a refund.

    You can try contacting Support, but typically Dropbox does not provide refunds.

    I think a person deserves to withdraw his subscription & get a refund. Look at the number of people comment on this issue. You should be more democratic. Like myself, I ask for a refund, filling up the form and everything but I can't press the SUBMIT button. It won't go.

     

    Don't know how and why it doesn't go.

     

    It looks very bad on you.

    Hi TokWae, thanks for messaging the Community.

     

    In general, refunds are offered according to this article.

     

    Could you clarify what form you're referring to? Is this to submit a support request?

     

    This will help me to assist further!
