    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

    Hello, 

     

    I purchased my original Business Dropbox account directly from Dropbox and decided to downgrade. I was promised a refund by the agent I chatted with when I downgraded the account. It's weeks later and I still haven't received the refund. Since I am downgraded I can no longer chat to an agent - which is extremely frustrating. 

     

    The transaction ID for the original charge is [removed] and the original transaction date is Feb 16, 2023. I am really hoping a community moderator sees this and reaches out.

    Hey gloriathom997, sorry to see you're having trouble with this.

     

    Can you please send me the ticket number from your communication with our support team, so I can look into this?

     

    Thanks in advance!

    Hi gloriathom997, it seems I wasn't able to locate it. Could you make sure this is the correct ticket number?

     

    Also, have you checked in with your bank about this? If the agent processed the refund correctly, then you should be able to see it after approximately 3-7 days.

    You are the worst company to contact. I have been trying for a month and now I have been charged.
