Upgrade account, paid but not upgraded

I upgraded my account to a Plus account. I used the Dropbox website and paid directly for a full year, but my account hasn't been upgraded. I also haven't received a confirmation e-mail. What to do?

    Meanwhile, I also created a ticket. I must say, the response time was impressive. Within 10 minutes someone replied to the ticket.

     

    In the end I made three purchases:

    • I made two purchases which didn't upgrade my account. The customer support could see both purchases in the system. They also saw the transactions were denied, so they will be refunded automatically. I guess the iDeal payment option doesn't work well.
    • The third purchase was made with a credit card without any problems.

     

    Maybe this answer will help someone else 🙂

    Hey Fadyrizk, thanks for bringing this to our attention.

     

    Did you upgrade your account through the Dropbox app on your mobile device (through iTunes/GooglePlay) or directly through our website?

    Hi Hannah, thanks for your prompt response, I did it though the app, I actually did it with another email and the same thing happened, I ended up paying for more than 3 subscriptions without getting upgraded!

    Hi fady Rizk, as this is related to sensitive billing info, I’d recommend getting in contact with our support team directly to look into this matter in more detail.

    Hi,

    I have subscribed to the Dropbox application on PlayStore for several months, but 1 month ago I forgot to pay for the subscription (subscription stopped for 1 month), then I paid for it this month. The payment was successful, I checked via email and it was confirmed that the payment was successful, I checked on the playstore subscription and the dropbox application is already active, but in playstore "Budget & Order History" there is still no history of my dropbox payments, and most importantly my Dropbox is still not upgraded be plus.
    What do I have to do? I've been waiting 9 days but my dropbox app is still not upgraded

    Hey mnabilnuryassin

     

    Did you also check your bank statement and the transaction seems to be complete there? Is it still in a pending state perhaps? 

     

    Do you have another Play Store account, by any chance, from which you upgraded your Dropbox account?

    The financial application that I use is Gopay from Gojek, previously I topped up my Gopay balance first and then used it as a dropbox payment method, the Gopay transaction history was successful, and I checked Playstore -> "Payments and subscriptions" -> "Subscriptions" and there my dropbox was active and the next payment was February 1, 2023. However, on Playstore -> "Payments and subscriptions" -> "Budget and History" the dropbox payment history was not written (so I couldn't ask for a refund). I have another playstore account but I've made sure I'm not mistaken. Until now my dropbox status is still Basic.

    Thanks for checking, mnabilnuryassin.

     

    Do you happen to have any other Dropbox accounts linked to a different email address?
