Something went wrong message when trying to pay for upgrade
I have been directed to seek your help paying for an upgrade on my account.
I get the same error no matter what computer, or browser (even incognito).
It allows me to enter all my payment info, but the black box is spinning and the submit button is grey and there is a pop-up that says 'Something went wrong. Please refresh.'
I was direct here when the support request by email only allowed for cancellations or refunds, which seemed to mystify the person advising me via chat.

Thanks for the additional info and screenshots, GraniteConsulting.
Can we send you an email, so we can look further into this?
- GraniteConsulting2 years agoHelpful | Level 5
Yes. Are you able to see the email address on the account? Or do I have to leave it here on a community page?

No need to post your email on a public forum GraniteConsulting.
I just sent an email to your Community-linked email address. I'll see you there, cheers!

I have got the same problem too.
May anyone please help me?
Sales chat tells me to create another dropbox account and transfter the files from my original account. Do I need to do that?

KSBilly, can you let me know what troubleshooting steps you’ve tried so far? Have you switched browsers, checked via incognito window, tested this with a different payment method (if applicable)?
- KSBilly2 years agoExplorer | Level 3Yes. I tried with another browser and tried to resubscribe but same warning "something went wrong, please refresh or contact support" appeared and I cannot make any payment.

Hey KSBilly - sorry to jump in here, but could you send us a screenshot of the exact error you're getting so that we can have a visual too?
Also, would it be OK if we reached out via email to have a further look internally?

Hey @KSBilly, this is what we eventually end up doing. The second account is only to set up payment. We made our first account admin too and eventually when everything was synced, we de-admined the second account and everything works fine now. Only thing is I really do feel like Dropbox should be aware of this bug and find a better solution for the users. We lost well over 20 hours of our time over this thing with support and all.

Hey jfvolz, sorry to hear you're having issues with this.
May I ask if you've tried an alternative payment method to upgrade your account?
Can you maybe send us a full-page screenshot of the last page you can get so that we can have a visual too?
Thanks so much!
