I cancelled my free trial, but I was still charged

I decided to try out Dropbox, so I went for the 30-day free trial. Once that ended, I never upgraded my plan, because as of now I don't use it that often. Anyway as of May 25, I was charged "$139.00"...

Hey ensaine, thanks for the info! 

 

A Basic account is definitely free, so it sounds like the charge might be linked to a different Dropbox account. Could that be the case? 

 

If these payments are made through a credit card, you should be able to use our payment lookup tool, to find out the email associated with the paid account.

I only have one Dropbox account. I tried to look at the payment lookup tool and it won't tell me the email associated with the payment.

    Sorry for the confusion, it did tell me the email and it's under my email which is correct, but I never made any purchases. It said I made a purchase for "Dropbox Plus for $131.27" But if you look at my Dropbox account I'm still on the basic plan. Is it possible I got charged as a renewal fee

      According to my account, I'm still on the basic plan, but apparently, there was a charge for the Dropbox Plus plan, but my account is still on the basic plan, so I don't even understand how that's possible

        This has to be a joke. This morning I got an email to upgrade to the Plus plan. When I was falsely billed a plus plan, which makes no sense. Because on my Dropbox account, it still said I'm still on the basic plan, which makes no sense.
