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.

Hi,
I'm having the same problem and have already tried the suggested solutions. Would it be possible to be contacted via email like others here?

I was on the Plus plan and seem to have been downgraded to basic.

Have you tried another browser to do this at all since you first noticed this? If you did and this persists, could you clarify the URL you're navigating to upgrade your account back to the Plus plan?
Apart from that, can you try from the plans page directly and let me know how it goes?
Keep me posted alex_k

Yes I've tried it on Safari and Chrome
This is the URL I was navigating to https://www.dropbox.com/buy/plus
I tried the different options too and the spinning square only stops when I select the 3TB & Billed monthly options
The original subscription is via Apple (I think) so wondering if this is the issue. When I tried to upgrade direct via my iPhone it looks like it would work work but I want to pay using a different card.
