I got charged even after cancelling my free trial
I was charged after I signed up to a free trial, which I cancelled within the trial period. It infuriates me, as on top of that, the cancellation was complex to do and at various points it seemed that I had cancelled only to find out at the bottom of the page that I needed to go through another 5 clicks to actually be able to cancel. I have found the experience very user-unfriendly - the real aim was not to offer me a trial to find out whether this option suited me, but to catch me out so that I - unwittingly - stayed a subscriber - and even after making sure I followed the procedure, my money was taken. I want to know if anyone has experienced the same thing and how to proceed to get my money back!
I used my dad's iDeal account and made the payment without consent.
Dropbox Plan (Plus) Payment Method iDeal How did you upgrade? Trough website without my dad's consent Question or Issue They refuse a refund while this account is free only use my daughter of 12 is a minor and used my payment method to buy and upgrade her account.

[2025-12-12 16:23:29]Karma Beck:No I will go to the police station and make a statement that you took payment of a minor and call my lawyer which you will have to pay since I am in the right and you don't want or do understand what Ideal clearly stated on their website. Dropbox is responsible for the refund [2025-12-12 16:23:57]Karma Beck:Take that to your supervisor [2025-12-12 16:24:56]Karma Beck:You clearly are AI or bot a human could read and understand the text provided by Ideal [2025-12-12 16:25:15]Karma Beck:Dropbox is responsible for the refund [2025-12-12 16:25:21]Brian:I am human and I can read the texts you have provided me.

[2025-12-12 16:45:32]System Message:This engagement has been ended by Brian Calling the bank like they state is absurd they have to make the refund directly from their account. My account will be renewed yearly automatically in January I asked them instead of refunding me directly to use the payment for my account and cancel and make my daughter's account a free account again. You would think problem solved
Basic Extra Promo $1.99 is this 50 GB + current free storage?
I am being offered this $1.99 Basic Extra plan. I already have 9GB of free bonus storage from referrals and other bonuses. Will this be 50GB + 9GB (my existing free plan)? I tried to check out but it shows I am already using 8.8GB of 50GB?
