Hello,
I am unable to upgrade my plan using the Dropbox.com website. My subscription with the Apple App Store has already expired, and I do not want to upgrade through Apple. I keep getting this error message: "Your plan and billing information are managed externally." How can I upgrade without using the Apple App Store?

Hi all, could you please clear your browser's cache and/or try another browser and let us know if you still get the same error?
If you do, would it be OK if we send you an email to investigate further?
