Why does Dropbox keep emailing me about billing after I've downgraded?
Don’t know who is supposed to look at this, but I canceled my subscription to Dropbox (I wasn’t using it; I don’t need it.) via the Apple app just like the website tells me to do. Since then, I have been getting harassing emails from the Dropbox billing mail bot telling me they can’t bill my credit card. No sh*t Sherlock … I canceled the subscription … and I did it before the renew process was to have begun. So why are you sending me emails, multiples even, each day when I have followed your process to unsubscribe, downgrade, and cancel billing? Now, I’ll be happy to pay Apple for the extra storage space if and when I need it.
Hi DanielAX, thanks for bringing this to our attention.
It's possible that the downgrade request from Apple might not have reached the Dropbox system, hence the emails regarding the billing details.
Once the change to your subscription has been registered, you shouldn't receive any further emails from Dropbox regarding this matter.
If you have any further queries, feel free to message back.

Hey JujuT, sorry for the delay, I was looking at this internally.
Do you still face the same issue on your end, with these emails?
- JujuT2 years agoExplorer | Level 4Hi Jay,
I have the same issue and and cancelled it two months ago and still getting the email as below.
We recently downgraded your account to Dropbox Basic because we received notice from Apple that they were unable to process payment for your plan.
If you're currently using more than 2 GB of space, file syncing will stop. No files will be removed, but syncing will only resume when you bring your account under quota again.
To restore your additional Dropbox space and features, simply click on the button below to access our payment page, where you can resubmit your billing information and upgrade your plan. - Hyffjjnh2 years agoHelpful | Level 5Now our personal information has been stolen. What is it you guys do again? We’ve been down the list of things a cloud service is supposed to do and Dropbox has achieved literally none of them.

Thank you so much!
- Hyffjjnh2 years agoHelpful | Level 5Seriously, this idea might push your conversion rate to 3%. That’s double your current!
- Hyffjjnh2 years agoHelpful | Level 5You don’t know this about your own service?
- Hyffjjnh2 years agoHelpful | Level 5Hey look at that! 3 more emails just for making this post. I will never use this service again.
- Hyffjjnh2 years agoHelpful | Level 5That’s absolute garbage. Both App Stores have web hooks that can sense these events. I know that because I’ve built them for several companies (both in the cloud and in mobile). In other words, the software isn’t doing its job. Perhaps that’s why only 2% of your accounts convert to paid service. Drop ox is a SaaS. Literally the entire value of the service is defined by whether the software is good or not. Dropbox is not.
