Purchased upgrade on wrong account. How to transfer?

Purchased upgrade on wrong account. How to transfer?

Hi. It seems I have two drop box accounts with a work email and a personal email.
I accidentally purchased an upgrade on the wrong one. Work email.
I really want my upgraded account to be Linked to my personal email. I also don’t want to use share between the accounts as a solution as I want to disable the work one.
The help pages don’t really have anything on this issue. I assume I need to contact support to transfer a subscription to a different account? Thank you if anyone has ideas or experience.

Thanks. I ended up logging in on the upgraded account which has better support options. They will cancel the error then once I’m refunded I can go and upgrade on the correct account. It was really speedy and fast service. Very impressed.

Hi @Gidgette, let's jump right into this!

 

Yeah, I'd also suggest that you contact our Support team about this, since they have more visibility and better tools in order to help you with that. 

 

You can visit the Support page while you're not signed in to a Dropbox account, including these forums, and you'll see an option for Billing issues. It's best to use an Incognito or Private browsing session to make sure you're not signed in.

 

Once you do, feel free to send me the ticket number reference, in order for me to locate it on my end.

 

Let me know more!

I have the same issue, our organisation pays for an enhanced plan. However I appear to be accessing a basic plan and have no idea of how to access the enhanced account. Is there a contact telephone number for New Zealand that I can use to try to rectify this please.

Hey @David Mitchell58 - sorry to hear you're having issues with this.

 

From the sounds of it, you must be looking at an account that's on the Basic plan. Has you organization shared the credentials for the upgraded account with you or if it's about a team account, have they invited you to the team?

 

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