I was charged, even though I had cancelled my free trial
Last September, I used the trial period. Today I saw that Dropbox charged me monthly for this fact every month since then, even though I canceled my subscription. Charges don't appear in my dropbox account, nor is there an active paid subscription . I would like to know what happened and get a refund for my money.

Hey Myszab, thanks for reaching out to our Community today.
Since the charges do not appear in your account settings, is it possible that you have a second account?
You can try searching the payment info with our payment lookup tool, which will show you the email address connected to the paid account.
Do you see the same email address as your free account, or a different one? And are you able to login to it?
Let me know and we'll take it from there.

I cannot check with your tool, because this is what the transfer titles look like. However, I am sure that I am talking about a free account, because it was this e-mail that I received information about payments.

Thanks for the screenshot and the update.
There's no specific transaction ID here, which would help us find out about this payment, I'm afraid.
Is it a credit card payment, or through PayPal or maybe through iTunes?

It was paid by credit card

- Sunny3 years agoNew member | Level 2Hi I signed up for a free trial temporarily. Dropbox has decided to take £199 out of my overdraft. I did not sign up for this, let alone was I informed that this would happen. Has this happened to anyone else and was anyone able to receive a refund?
Please help. Thanks - maher19823 years ago
