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.

Hey abhishek anand, I'm sorry to see that you're also facing this issue.
Can you send us a screenshot of the error message, while making sure your personal info is hidden?
And also, can you try to upgrade your account from another browser/private browsing window and let me know the results?

Yes. It is the same with every browser, even the phone browser. I have tried incognito as well. The payment portal just shows this message all the time and keeps refreshing. I can't even make the purchase.

Hi Everyone,
So after months of trying everything and reaching out to customer support multiple times, I finally was able to find out the source of the problem (with help of one of the tech ladies at customer support.
Last year or maybe the year before, I paid for my upgrade through my company iPhone/Itunes which apparently locked my account with them. I usually use dropbox on my personal android phone or laptop. That's why I couldn't do it again through the website or PlayStore. Basically, what I did now is just canceled it from my iPhone subsucribtion list then everything started working fine and was able to pay it again through the website.
I hope this going to help you. - abhishek anand3 years agoExplorer | Level 4
Thanks. But I have never subscribed dropbox from phone or my ipad. To be sure, I have checked subscriptions in both apple and google play accounts. There is no subscription. They had messaged me that the automated annual transaction through my card failed. I upgraded one of my other dropbox accounts. That went well. But this one gets stuck on the purchase page forever. I cannot even change the payment method. Being such a large company, this is saddening that dropbox is taking so long to fix it. Its been 2 days and I have no solution. This account is connected to my PhD data and I have my defense next month. This is very frustrating and I might consider moving to a different cloud after this experience.

Here you go. I have attached screen shots of the error. I have tried different browsers, incognito mode. All this happened because my annual debit card payment was declined by the bank. I do not know what to next. This entire thread is filled with questions but no answers.

Yes, that was excatly what I used to see when try to upgarde my plan. Somthing else I just rembered and not sure if its going to help you or not.
I used to have one folder shared with my wife and she use Iphone. I unlinked that folder as well but honstely, I don't think it helped me but I want to through it here so you can try as well.
I feel your concern, I was very close to move to anothet cloud service before I solved my issue.
