I got charged $199 for a Dropbox subscription. Can I get a refund?

I got charged $199 without me knowing and I didn’t even get notified and I didn’t wanna buy the subscription it was just charged on my card. I need a refund because i didn’t buy the subscription

    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.

    Hi there, 

    I'm messaging on behalf of my company dropbox. We just found out that an old employee is still having their dropbox plus paid with our company card, is there a way to get the money back via dropbox or is the only options to ask the ex employee to change their payment method (which will mean we don't get the money back as the automatic payment has already gone through). OR can we call the bank and cancel the payment or is this not possible after the money has already gone out? 

    Thanks!

    Is there a way to speak to someone in person? Otherwise i have to put to all the bank details in. I just want to find out what the options are before this ex-employee is made aware that we intend on cancelling it?

    If you have a Business account you can initiate a callback from Support through your Admin console. Otherwise you'll need to open a ticket using the link posted above.

    Okay thanks Rich, i don't have a buisness account personally but i'm a member of my company business dropbox. I can't see an admin option so i guess i can't request a call. 

     

    sorry one last question. 

     

    When i open the ticket and it asks for the card number and account - if i put the ex-colleague's account name in will they receive an email? 

     

    Thanks

    I don't know. Technically, the account is theirs so Dropbox would certainly be within their right to notify them of information pertaining to their account. Whether (or not) that happens before or after you succeed in removing your credit card, I can't answer.
