I've managed to sort it through FB chat, though have had no luck requesting my plan to start today to recoup the weeks I haven't had access. Is that something you can help with?

 

Cheers

Do you mean that you’d like to request a refund, as you mentioned in the beginning, because your account was upgraded today? 

If so, can you please clarify from which platform did you upgrade? Was it directly from the Dropbox website, the App Store or the Play Store?

Keep me posted!

    Hi I have been a Plus user for a few years and the annual payment has normally not been an issue, However, I went to use DB and it has reverted my plan to basic and removed all my files. I checked my bank and all was paid on the correct date. I have also put the DB 12 digit code into the DB help and it shows it has been paid. The only thing that I can see is different is that my email address on the account details is my old one and not the one attached to the actual DB account.  Cheers

      Hey jonnz, thanks for your comment here.

      It sounds like you have two Dropbox accounts, a paid one and a free one.

      If you login to Dropbox with the email address you saw when you looked up the payment, you will be able to access your paid account and your files.

        Thanks Hannah that is what happened. I will delete the old free account.
