How to cancel a Dropbox Plus subscription
HI, How can i cancel my dropbox plus subscription? i was told to go to setting> plan> at the bottom, click cancel my subscription, but i don't see this option at the bottom. it's so frustrating, please help!
thanks.
Hey vamps503 - welcome to our Forum and thanks for posting your question here!
Is it possible that you upgraded to the Plus plan via the app store on your phone? Only reason I am asking this is because you don't see the cancel button on your plan's page.
If that is the case, please review the following articles for more information and clear guidance on this:
1. If the purchase was made through Apple's app store review this page or...
2. If it was made through Google's play store, see this page.
If you still have issues with this, you can always log a ticket with our team in order to get more account specific assistance with all of our tools available. I hope this helps somehow and please let me know what you find.
Thank you.

Hello again,
I tried your link for downgrading but it didn't work.
My case is special. I canceled the test period on the 8th of September.
Since my Dropbox was overfull and I was afraid to loose all my data, I started a new test period tonigt on the 9th. Then bad surprise, I credited on my Paypal account for the business pro account :(
Could I be reimbursed? If yes, how should I do?
Thanks for your great help. Best regards.

Hey there Frenchstarter - sorry for the tardy response. Are you still having issues with this?

Good news is that you won't lose any data. Even if you are over your quota (2GB for basic vs 2TB for Professional) we won't do anything to your data. You do lose the ability to sync data to PC, showcases, and other features that Basic doesn't include, but we won't do anything to your data.
Also, as a side note, we only allow one trial per customer, which is likely why the attempt to start another trial resulted in a charge. - rachelstevefl8 years agoNew member | Level 2
I have tried to follow your instructions on how to cancel my plan. There is no "cancel plan" button in my plan tab. I haven't been able to contact anyone to cancel my subscription and this is ridiculous. Just cancel my plan. I am going to do a chargeback. You guys make it so easy to sign up and so hard to cancel... funny how that works.

If there's no such button, is it possible that you're on a basic plan ( the one that comes for free) under the account you're currently logged in then rachelstevefl?
What does your accoun's tab report at the moment?

Hi Walter, thank you for getting back to me. There is no accounts tab, in my login. my email address is [personal information removed for security purposes] that is what the account is under. However, I am getting charged $10/mo. I did cancel a subscription over a year ago that I had, maybe it was under a different email (different account) try [personal information removed for security purposes]. Either way, I just want all of it cancelled. I don't want to be charged one more month. I have donated way too much money to dropbox with unwelcomed monthly fees and I have not been using your company for years. Please cancel before I go NUTS! Thanks for your help.

I was trying to download some pictures my agent sent me on dropbox. In order to do that (he sent them by dropbox) it said I had to download Dropbox. I did, and viewed the pics. However, when I finished it wanted my credit card (did not give it) and to choose how I wanted to pay, monthly or yearly. I don't want to pay anything at all...I do not use, nor see any use for my purposes to have a Dropbox account. will you simply cancel this? I've gone to the 'cancel' sites but nothing helps. This was all done on my computer.

Sorry to hear about this rake - could you please elaborate on this one for me?
Are you getting charged about an account and you'd like to cancel it? If so, you can use our self serve look-up tool to locate and verify the account that it relates to.
To then cancel your subscription, log into the account in question and downgrade your plan from your plan's tab.
If you upgraded through the app store on a mobile device take a look at this Help Center article .
Should you still have problems with this, log a ticket with our support team and ask for assistance. Note that this is for your own security and safety as we can't troubleshoot account specific inquiries like this one here, on our public forums.
I hope this information is helpful to you and let me know if there's anything else I can do from my end to assist with this.
Thanks!
PS: If you'd like to delete your Dropbox account completely, go to this page. Just note that should you proceed with that option, there is no way for you or Dropbox to recover that account.

Why do Dropbox make it so difficult to cancel a subscription, it is such poor service and comes across quite sneaky. I signed up to Professional on your website and now have been charged because I can't see any cancel button where it's supposed to be. Can someone help please??
