Hello, I purchased an annual subscription for a plus account, but it’s not showing up in the app. My account remains basic, even though my bank account is showing that the $130 went through. I tried to restore purchases, signing in and out, and deleting the app. Is there anyway to fix this? Reading from a couple articles shows that this problem has been going on for a couple months for a lot of people. Has anybody found an applicable solution to this?

4 years agoHey Lola136, do you mean that you upgraded the wrong account?
Or did you just use the wrong email, when you created the account?
If the latter, you can simply change the email address of your account by following the steps in this article.
As for you Elijah12, I'm sorry to see you're having trouble upgrading your account.
Can we send you an email, so we can investigate further?

Thank you for your response Hannah. I updated the wrong account - it should be [email addresses removed per the Community's Guidelines]
What can I do?

Thanks for the update here.
So, there are two ways you can now go about this.
You can login to the account that is currently a free one and change the email to a third email address you have access to.
This will free up the email address of the free account, so you can use it for the account that's currently the paid one.
Otherwise, you can login to the paid account, chat in with our support team, let them know what happened and they should also be able to help you.
Let me know if you have any questions.

I upgraded the wrong dropbox account - can I merge both accounts?
