Paid subscription but loss files and now on basic plan.

I have been paying for extra storage for years, and just paid again a month ago. Signed in today to find I have the basic plan and no files are all. Can't access support because my subscription package not recognised. Chatbox useless and community support has not been helpful. What am I supposed to do next?

  • Hey ChristineK17, sorry to hear about this.

     

    Do you happen to have another Dropbox account perhaps, associated with a different email address of yours?


    Also, can you clarify if you had upgraded your account via the website or if it was through the app store on a mobile device?

     

    Thanks!

      Yes, thanks, it seems that my account email address for logging in was not the one that all my Dropbox correspondence uses, nor is it one I ever remember setting up. Not sure how this happened although I think it might be a default email address, but anyway I've just managed to get in, finally. So thank you.

        No worries, Christine - I'm glad to hear it's sorted now.
