I've paid for my account but it's not showing up
My account was charged for a new month's subscription yesterday. Then this morning, I get an email telling me that my account is full, out of space, no longer syncing. I went to my account and logged in, and it says I need to upgrade, that I'm only a Basic user! But, I am a PLUS user and have been for many years! I'm not going to pay to upgrade my account to a level I'm already at - especially when they just billed me yesterday! The payment was successfully processed, I checked. So, there is no reason for this.
NONE of this makes ANY sense to me whatsoever:
- My bank account processed the payment for my subscription successfully.
- I pay for my subscription through Google Play - which shows me as an active Plus member, with my next payment being due in April.
- The email I received was telling me to upgrade to the next level of 3 TB. But, 3 TB is NOT the next level up from Basic - 2 TB is! So, that makes it seem as if I'm already at 2 TB...?
- When I logged into my account, it said I was using a little under 6 GB, and that I was full, out of space, no longer syncing - meaning I'm in a Basic account.
Since the account is showing me as Basic, I'm unable to contact anyone in Customer Support for help - no phone, no chat, no email. Apparently, that is only for "paid" customers - WHICH I AM!!
I need help with this. I need to know if any Dropbox employees monitor these boards and might see this...???
I have MANY important documents saved in my cloud, so I need this working correctly again!
Any help would be extremely appreciated. Please.
Thank you,
Lori

Same issue here. I've just paid for the 2TB upgrade and still resulting as Basic (so my files are not sync and my storage is full). Please, I need assitance because I need it for work. I thought it would be immediate after paying but this problem seems to persist...
Thanks,

How did you pay for your subscription, Tes_Salarin?
Did you upgrade directly through our site or from the Dropbox app (billed through iTunes/Google Play)?
- Crystal M Stewart3 years agoExplorer | Level 3This is also happening to me. I paid for my subscription via Google Play. Now it's saying I don't have any storage. It also now won't let me log into the app AT ALL because I "haven't paid" and don't have enough devices.

missy1115, can you please send me a screenshot of what you see here?
Is there any chance you have a separate Dropbox account (under another email address), that’s on a free Basic account instead?
Is the email address you see here, the same as the one on your Dropbox mobile app?

Hello Hannah,
I tried upgrading through ideal again. And it failed yet again.
This time it does show that i have a Dropbox plus subscription, but i only have acces to the Basic 2 GB storage.
