Dropbox Plan - Plus, Personal Account Do you have access to the email linked to the account? Yes Are there any devices connected to your Dropbox account? iPhone, Macbook Pro Question or Issue I have had a dropbox account at least 5-10 years if not more. Recently a non-profit group that I was associated with experimented with the TEAM aspect of their free Dropbox account. I was an "invited" member. I was not involved in setting it up. About 3 months ago they upgraded to a new account and disabled the free account and removed all "invited" accounts. Since that happened I no longer have access to my files on my personal dropbox account. I can see them in the side bar of my apple finder under DROPBOX-PERSONAL, but they are not syncing and when I click a file I get an error message: Your device couldn’t connect to the server. There may be a problem with the server or network. I have upgraded my account to Dropbox Plus so that I could get support plus more space. I would like to get my files back now. I'd like to know how to re-link my files to my account. The account name remains the same - same email address. Please help. Thank you.71Views0likes13CommentsI've accidentally joined a Dropbox team, thinking it was a client sharing a file
Ive been using Dropbox to run my subscription business for 7+ years. Yesterday, I inadvertently clicked on a link thinking it was a shared folder with a client. I have now joined their team, and my acvpunt has merged with theirs. They have ALL my business/tax information and client files. Ive tried to contact them to no avail, I don't think they'd used Dropbox before, and don't really know what they're doing. My account has hundreds of subscriber folders, all linked to specific URLs, so I cant lose my account. I've been a paying customer for years, however support so far has been non-existent, stating that i must contact this non-contactable "admin" for them to restore... potentially DELETE my entire account. I really need my account separated ASAP, my entire business and livelihood depend on it. I can't believe something so catastrophic comes with no warnings! If anyone can please help, I'll be forever in your debt.28Views1like1CommentI wonder if I have more than one account?
Device Asus VivoBook17 Operating System/Browser (if using the web) Windows 10 Home/Chrome I wonder if I have 2 Dropbox accounts? I have a basic account that says I have run out of storage and I need to update it. Yet I have a summary of card purchase that shows I paid for Dropbox Plus (11/9/25 to 11/9/26) dated 11/9/25. I also have a credit card statement that shows I paid $119.88 on 11/9/25. Can someone straighten out this mess? Thanks for your help!17Views0likes1CommentI can't sign in on Safari, but I can sign in on Firefox

Device Dell all-in-one Operating System/Browser (if using the web) Windows 11 Question or Issue I have a new Dell all-in-one desktop PC. It is intended to replace a prior Dell All-in-one PC which has a Windows 10 OS that is no longer supported. To access my prior Dropbox account and files, I thought I needed to download the Dropbox app on my new PC. Apparently, that was a big mistake. I now have two Dropbox accounts, can't access the first account on my new PC, and new account doesn't have the capacity to house the files from the first account should I try to transfer them over. I have messed with this unsuccessfully for more than a week, read the suggested articles and FAQs, etc. I'm ready to just terminate the new account and look for other storage options. How do I terminate my new account? For that matter, how do I terminate both accounts? Thank you.18Views0likes1CommentHow do I stop files being deleted due to inactivity?

No access to email, so I can't receive the security code.
Subject: Urgent Account Recovery Request – Lost Gmail Access Hello Dropbox Support, My Dropbox account is registered under the email address [email removed as per Community Guidelines]. I have lost access to this Gmail account and cannot receive verification codes. I attempted the recovery form multiple times, but it now says I have tried too many times and instructs me to contact support. I have always used the free Dropbox plan. To help verify ownership, here are details I can provide: - Devices I used with Dropbox: [list PC names, phone models] - Shared folders/files I remember: [list names] - Contacts I shared with: [list emails if possible] - Any old Dropbox emails/screenshots I still have - Approximate date I created the account: [month/year] I kindly request that you manually verify my account and update the linked email to a new one I control, so I can regain access to my files. Thank you for your assistance, Freddy74Views0likes7CommentsI need to cancel a subscription for an account I can no longer access
I need to cancel my subscription as my dropbox was tied to an email address from an old employer. I can't get assistance from anything online with dropbox. I am just directed to have a password reset and directed to that origiaonl email account, which I no longer have access to. I have tried several tickets with dropbox, but they close the ticket because they think they have resolved my issue I've paid every year over the past number of years over $100 a year. I can't access the benefit of my account because I can't log in to my dropbox with that email. I can't get dropbox to switch to my Gmail and I can't find assistance. I did find the website to mail a cancellation request, which I'll put in the mail today but holy cow, Mail? to cancel???? wow. disapointed with my customer service experience trying to switch my account over to an email I have access to. any assistance is appreciated as I mail the 1950's paper letter asking to cancel my account. PayPal ID [removed] Email for account: [removed per the Dropbox Community Guidelines] (I do not have access to this) as I do not work there anymore. my bad for not using my gmail originally.23Views0likes1Comment
