How can I redeem the 50% Discount for Dropbox Plus with Adobe Creative Cloud?
I have both an Adobe Creative Cloud and a Dropbox Plus subscription. I recently saw that I could be saving 50% on my Dropbox Plus sub.
It has only recently renewed but as my work situation has changed I need to cut some costs while I seek new work.
I want to keep my subscription but want to take advantage of this offer I'm entitled to.
Could someone let me know if they've been able to do this? When I click Redeem Offer it says I already have a Dropbox Plus plan.
I've been paying for Adobe for 30 years and Dropbox for 15 years.
Many thanks!
Thanks for posting your question to our Community, Measle.
Indeed, this promotion with Adobe does exist, however, it cannot be redeemed if you're already on a Dropbox Plus subscription, just like the error message mentioned.
It works for existing users, just not the ones that have already purchased their plan.
Let me know if you have any questions.

Iāve been trying to get this working now for over 2 weeks. I have lost count how many times Iāve started a chat with sales. I have a basic account. It wonāt work. Made a new account using a different browser. Still wouldnāt work. Contact Dropbox via chat. They couldnāt tell me why it wasnāt working. They told me to got to Adobe. Contacted adobe via DM on X.com. They also confirmed they getting the same error. They didnāt understand why. So advised me to go back to Dropbox and asked that I let them know how Dropbox respond. Dropbox sales chat suggested that it may have expired but they didnāt know. I responded to my Adobe DM messages. This back and forth has continued. Adobe have stopped responding to my DMs. Itās really frustrating that you canāt contact anyone in Dropbox tech support if you have a basic account.
ā¦even if its stopping a customer giving them money. The online chat is only for sales. At the very least you would think that the person on sales chat would be able to forward the call on to a tech support person. Frustrating. So thatās the craic. - anikin1 year agoHelpful | Level 5
I got email from Dropbox team:
According to my understanding, you are trying to activate the 50% off as a benefit of having an Adobe subscription.
I'm very sorry, but the only Adobe-related discount had expired a couple of weeks ago.It's so funny. Dislike Dropbox for this.

yes, it's messed up. I'm glad I made this post as it's clearly an issue many have had and I'm sure hundreds more who haven't progressed to commenting here.
Hopefully Adobe and Dropbox will work this out so as to retain loyal customers. There are so many other file sharing / storage providers out there. Adobe are offering a deal with WeShare and they have the T&Cs clearly on their site. So to me this seems like it's a Dropbox issue.

Don't worry. I spent 3 days talking to both Dropbox and Adobe support and neither could help me. I went through every department possible. The last agent, from Adobe, told me that this was not a discount that they give, that they could only offer Acrobat instead.
I followed all the steps. I unsubscribed from my current dropbox plan, waited for it to expire, and there was no change, the same error appears "The cash code canāt be applied, please contact sales for more information."
My recommendation is that you save yourself the time and frustration, and continue paying Dropbox at full price, or find another cloud storage provider. I don't understand how a company is not able to offer what it advertises on its own official website. Shameful.

Hi, I reported the issue here previously.
To finish my work, I purchased Dropbox Plus yesterday at no discount.
If the discount returns, it will hopefully apply to past purchases too... - anikin1 year agoHelpful | Level 5
