Not able to upgrade to Dropbox Plus - Family

Hi,
I am trying to change my plan from "Dropbox Plus - Individual" to "Dropbox Plus - Family".
When I click on 'Buy Now', it shows an error in red saying "You're already on Dropbox Plus"
It only allows me to upgrade to "Dropbox - Professional"
No one from Sales was able to help and my emails have gone unanswered.
Can someone please help
Thank you
Regards
Sahil Goyal

Thanks for that @sahilgoyal!

It looks like you're account is currently part of a free team structure, which is probably why you're not seeing the option to change to Family.

Can you try leaving or disbanding the free team structure (more info on this here), and then try change plan once more?

How are you currently paying for Dropbox @sahilgoyal ? You can only upgrade if you are paying Dropbox direct and not using a third party such as the Apple or Google Play stores.

Hi Daphne, (@Daphne)

 

Thank you for your reply,

 

1) When I try the steps you mentioned, I do not get an option to choose 'Dropbox - Plus Family'

2) Instead I click on 'Compare Plans' in top right corner and then choose "Family Plan" and then I get the error 'You're already on Dropbox Plus'

 

I have attached a video for the same AT THIS LINK

 

Thank you

Regards

Hello, 

I have a free dropbox account and I have been trying to upgrade to Plus- for individuals for 3 days now. 

When I fill out my details and click on purchase, nothing happens. I don't even get a notification/ error. 

It just seems like the website is not working. 

 

I tried this with several credit cards and in several web browsers (Edge & Chrome). 

 

I am pretty desperate right now. 

How can I solve this? 

 

Thank you, 

 

Bettina

Hey @Bldruyck, welcome to our Community! 

Just out of curiosity, do you use this page when trying to upgrade? 

Let me know, and we'll take it from there!
