So it was an issue on your side. Hopefully it doesn't come up again.

I have the exact same issue. I cant "Upgrade". I cant add credit card. I cant contact customer support. Dropbox, you have a great service, but your support is subpar. If I have issues with billing, my goto should not be asking the community. I have spent several hours trying to get this resolved and still have no clear path to getting this resolved.

Strange, they've fixed it like yesterday, works for me now and judging by posts - for everyone.
Have you tried incognito mode in browser?RE the support - I've emailed to "billing-support@dropbox.com", the only address I've managed to find (in my old receipts)

I am trying to upgrade my storage space and every time I get an error that says "my account is managed externally" I click upgrade and it won't even let me put in my credit card information, it automatically reverts me to the Subscriptions Management page with that message. My shared folders from work have stopped syncing and I need to view updates from a coworker so How do I get more storage space?
- LB-Basics4 years agoExplorer | Level 3Dear Dropbox Team,I'm trying to pay for this month but i was facing some issue with the payment. Previously i paid through UPI payment and opted for auto renewal but the payment was failed and now i can't see the UPI in the payment portal. When i enter the payment portal it says "My payment was managed externally" screenshot attached.
Since dropbox plays a crucial role for my work i tried to change the payment from UPI to Credit card now it shows popup "You can't update your billing information because Credit card doesn't support none currency."
Kindly let me know what should i do. It is circling back to the above pages wherever i click the upgrade or pay button. - Walter4 years ago

Hey baileyhoward2400, sorry to hear you're having issues with this.
Could you clear your browser's cache or try another browser or an incognito window and let us know if you still get the same error?

Tried incagnio... message still the same
