Thanks for replying! My situation is not 100% like OP but closer to another responder on this thread:

* For 10+ years my PayPal has seen a $~100 transaction for DropBox

* But when I log in to DropBox > Account > Billing > Transactions/Invoices, I don't see any billing activity

* And I am shown as being on a Basic (ie, free tier) account as far as I can tell

 

I did go ahead and cancel the recurring subscription in PayPal, but I would like to know exactly what DropBox account I've been funding all these years, whether the money has just vanished or was scam, or if maybe I did once upon time have to go Pro but subsquently dropped below threshold or ...? My latest PayPal transaction Id is [removed]

 

Thanks!

Hey bronius, thank you for the update and the additional info.

 

Can we send you an email, so we can investigate this further?

        I had a heck of a time with Dropbox on my billing issue.  The lack of phone support is unacceptable.  The 2-3 people I dealt with by email could not solve the problem although I provided all the screenshots of bills with reference numbers etc… Finally after asking for it to be escalated, a nice guy discovered an old account we had that they had upgraded without my knowledge from the free basic under my wife’s name.  It got out of control because of the automatic upload of IPhone photos.  I have been a Dropbox user for many years but now looking at the many alternatives.
