Hey @aanimesh, thanks for bringing this to our attention today.

Can you please send me a screenshot of the error message, so I can check it out?

Just make sure you hide any personal info.

And in the meantime, try to upgrade again, using a different browser, or an incognito/private browsing window, to see if that helps.

Thanks!

Hi @aanimesh, is your personal account currently linked to a work account?

Currently, we only provide incoming phone support for team admins of Dropbox Business subscriptions.

Hi,

I'm trying to update my payment info but DropBox isn't accepting it. I've checked with the bank and there is no problem with the card. I've been trying to get help from the Chatbot but it is totally confused and useless. Until I update my payment I can't get customer support so I'm stuck. Ideas? I'm literally trying to give them money so I don't lose all my files and I can't.

 

Thanks!

Hi!
 
I am unable to upgrade my account to Dropbox Plus. I have tried several times over the course of a few weeks – and with different web browsers (Chrome, Firefox & Safari), but the payment doesn't go through and loads and then says the following: "You’ve made too many billing attempts. Please try again in 24 hours, or contact support at dropbox.com/support".

 

I have tried several web browsers, different connection servers, waited longer than 24 hours per each attempt, have sufficient funds in my bank account, etc, etc and spoke to someone at support a week ago and was told I would be emailed and wasn't.  

I have added screenshots below:

 

Doc 1.pngDoc 2.pngDoc 3.png

 

Screenshot 2 shows the spinning wheel, and it goes from Screenshot 1 to Screenshot 2 and then to Screenshot 3 after just 1 attempt to make a payment.

 

If someone could get back to me, I would greatly appreciate it

Hi @mmdbassett, let's see what we can find about this, together. 

Do you get any errors when trying to update your billing info? If so, what are they? 

Also, have you upgraded your account through Dropbox, or an in-app store like Apple, or Google?  

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

Hi @Magnetude, welcome to our Community! 

I have gone ahead, and created a new ticket number for you, in order for us to look into this.

Feel free to reply back to me, and I'll be happy to investigate further.

Dropbox says I need more space but doesn’t let me upgrade. It just sits there “thinking” before I add my card info. Help please.

Hey @Shellygraves, welcome to our Community! 

 

Are you using the website or mobile app in order to upgrade your account? If you use the website, have you tried a different browser, or an incognito tab on your current one?

 

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