I've been charged but my account is still Basic
This morning I was charged 195 dollars for a yearly plan on Dropbox. When I checked I don't have a plan with Dropbox. I'm on the free plan which doesn't make sense. All the chats I had are basically because I can't talk to anyone about the problem. Can someone from the Dropbox team help me and give me an email address? I don't think I should be begging for Dropbox's help because it wasn't my fault my card got charged for a yearly plan that I don't have access to.

Hi Philip F.2, you can contact the support team directly by opening an incognito/private browsing window, while not signed into your account, and accessing this link, choose 'Other' and then put in an email address that you can access, followed by your billing info.

I'm having the same problem but we don't have any credit card that would be associated with an account, just a bank card which isn't even the same number as when these charges started. Additionally, the email address that would have been associated with that card doesn't even have a Dropbox account. Transaction ID is only 10 digits. <--Why is this still an issue over a year later? Getting people caught in a Catch-22 for support is not a trustworthy service model.

Hey dappydarwin - sorry to hear about this.
Did you try getting in contact with our team directly as my colleague Jay suggested?

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. - dappydarwin2 years agoNew member | Level 2
Without the requisite information for those forms (CC and 12 digit code) they simply do not offer a solution.

In that case, may we reach out via email to the email address that's associated with your profile here, on our Community, to have a further look internally dappydarwin?

Samaahith, did you upgrade your Dropbox account via www.dropbox.com?
Have you double checked if another Dropbox account, linked to a different email address, has been upgraded instead)?
