'We couldn’t process your payment' error when trying to update my billing info
Dropbox Plan: Plus Payment Method: Card
Today, dropbox sent me the following message: “Romanos, we couldn’t process your payment. Update your billing information now before you lose access”.

Hi Romanos, thanks for bringing this to our attention.
Let's get right to it; can you try to update your billing info again, but from a different browser or a private browsing/incognito window, to see if it helps?
If it doesn't help, and if it's a possibility, please try a different payment method as well (e.g. PayPal) to see if that makes a difference.
Keep me posted with the results and we'll go from there.

Thank you very much for your reply!
In the end, I managed to update my payment method via PayPal, which I authorized to withdraw money directly from my bank account.
Unfortunately, I was unable to do this by entering my credit card details directly. Every time I tried to do this, I received the following error message: Error in call to API function /2/checkout/update_billing_info: The payment has been refused. Contact your bank to enable the card for online use and/or re-enter the correct card details again.
In any case, the problem was solved this way. I hope other friends don't have the same problem, so it would be a good idea for Dropbox to check if there is a bug in its connections to customers' credit cards.
