1369 TopicsI'm trying to cancel a Plus plan, but all I see is a Dropbox Basic account.
I am helping my mom with cancelling a number of recurring subscriptions and the most difficult one has been this drop box account. I keep cycling through how to cancel a dropbox account trial/account but nothing is working. There is no billing history in the account and the subscriptions page says she is on dropbox basic online. she is charged via card and gets an annual email with the last email saying: "our subscription will renew on August 24, 2025, and youâll be charged $130.01 on that date and again each year, until you cancel. If youâd like to cancel your subscription, access your account settings You may also contact support at any time." but when I click the apps it send me on a goose chase. HOW CAN I CANCEL? Dropbox Plan Dropbox Plus account Payment Method Card How did you upgrade? I believe she did directly through the Dropbox website Question or Issue I want to cancel immediately.

Shared folders are one of the easiest ways to collaborate with others while using Dropbox. Having a shared space makes everything simpler when youâre working on a project, sharing family photos or keeping your teams files all organised. But you might be wondering: Does this shared folder take up space in my Dropbox account? And what if I no longer need access - how do I leave it? Does a Shared Dropbox Folder Count Toward My Storage? It depends on how the folder was share with you and what level of access you have. Hereâs how to check: Sign in to dropbox.com and click All files. Look for folders with a two-person icon đ„ - these are shared folders. Hover over the folder name and click the ââŠâ (More) menu. Choose Share â then Settings. Youâll see one of these options: Can edit â the folders contents do take up space in your Dropbox account Can view â the folders contents donât count toward your space Tip: You can also check shared folders directly from the Dropbox desktop app - the 2 person icon works the same way there too. How to Leave a Shared Dropbox Folder I No Longer Need If you see âCan editâ and you no longer need access, itâs really easy to remove yourself from the folder. Hereâs how: Go to dropbox.com and sign in. Click Shared in the left sidebar. Find the folder you want to leave. Click the ââŠâ (More) button next to it. Select Leave folder â and confirm. Once you leave: The shared folder and its files are removed from your Dropbox. Theyâll no longer count toward your storage. Other members will still have access as usual. If you originally created the shared folder, youâll need to transfer ownership before leaving. To do that: Open the folderâs Share settings. Click the dropdown beside another memberâs name. Select Make owner â then leave the folder. That way, everyone who needs it still has access and the ownership transfers smoothly. And thatâs it! Keeping your Dropbox account organised is a simple way to make more room for what matters most - your ideas, projects and memories. If you ever change your mind and want back into a folder in the future, just ask the owner to share it with you again. Got questions about shared folders?

Dropbox Plan Basic Device Macbook Air M2 Operating System/Browser (if using the web) MacOS 26.0.1 Dropbox App Version (if using the app) Question or Issue Some time ago Dropbox notified my that my storage was above threshold because another user shared some huge files with me. I quickly deleted those files and several other and now my storage use is now down to 16,64%. However, Dropbox keeps sending me mails insisting that I need to upgrade my plan in spite of my low storage usage. It been a few weeks since I lowered my usage to 16,64% but the out of space-mails keep coming. How do I make this stop?
