72 TopicsFamily plan is too expensive for what it offers
While I would like to have the ability for my wife and I to share a combined account with our own individual logins - it's not worth the extra $80/year, almost doubling the cost for only a limited increase in features. If it came with double the storage I might consider it, but even then I'm not sure I need that much more storage at the moment. Please reconsider the pricing on the family plan as I will never upgrade at anywhere near that price. It makes more sense to just have 2 Plus accounts since it comes with the extra storage. With the amount of competition out there for similar cloud storage, it's getting more difficult to justify the cost of dropbox, so I was really expecting a minimal increase in price, if any at all versus the Plus plan I am currently paying for.15KViews22likes32CommentsGet support for your paid Dropbox account

I'm on a monthly Family plan with 2TB of storage and was wondering if anyone knew of an upcoming Black Friday/Cyber Monday sale. I'd like to switch to yearly billing, and I know many companies offer larger discounts on yearly plans during BF/CM, so I was thinking this would be a good time to do so if there was going to be a good sale. I see there's a generic discount baked into switching to yearly, but I'd prefer to snag a lower sale price if possible.Solved7.4KViews2likes3CommentsHow to go from Dropbox Plus Account to Having Family Account
I currently have my own Plus account and realize my wife can't access the images I have there as her account doesn't have enough space. Looks like having a Family account is a good solution so how best to migrate there? Also, I purchased the Plus account through my iOS app, so does that make the whole conversion process different? Thanks!2.1KViews2likes4CommentsMessage from Dropbox about completing date of birth by 1st September or lose Family Plan Access
I received the same email & have the same issue. I can't find where to update the DOB from! This truly frustrating for how much we pay for this service. Not to mention that we store important personal and business data on it. DropBox team, please sort this out!Solved7.6KViews2likes57CommentsBe a dropbox premium user for more than 10 years, but very disappointed this time...
Couple of weeks ago I planned to subscribe the family plan via App Store share it with my family, but clicked the wrong button and subscrbed the plus plan for single user. Then I applied for a refund and Apple returned it to me. At this time, my dropbox plan is still Plus, however I decided to resubscribe the family plan before the plus plan expires in order to avoid I forgot to resubscribe and my dropbox plan turned basic. So I used my App Store credit to subscribe the family plan before the plus plan expires, my credit was deducted and I received an invoice from App in my email account as the screenshot shows. [removed] After the plus plan expires, the nightmare begins. My plans turns basic, and my App Store account in iOS settings shows I am still subscribing the plan as the screenshot shows . [removed] Then I opened the dropbox app and click upgrade to plus, it shows this [removed] The funny things from beginning to end, I have only one dropbox account on all my devices. How come there is another account which was paid by Apple ID. I emailed Cusomter Support and they just replied this, just every beginners knows: I can see on my system your Dropbox Plus subscription is now a Dropbox Basic Free Subscription. You now do not have a paid subscription so you can either upgrade from the App Store or pay via PayPal or card by following these next steps: Log in to dropbox.com with your email [removed] and normal password. Click your avatar (profile picture or initials) in the top-right corner. Click Manage account. Click Upgrade Plan. If Dropbox Family appears as an option, you can upgrade from here. Click Family plan. Click Continue. Please help me fix this issue. My money for family plan was just like being dumped!

I've been trying to upgrade to a paid plan for a few days now. When I choose the plan, fill in the credit card info, agree to the Dropbox terms, and click PURCHASE the page doesn't let me go to the next step. No info pops out, the page just stays the same. I tried switching browsers and tried different credit cards and different plans. But no progress.1.4KViews1like10CommentsTransfering ownership of a family plan?
Hi We have a family plan and the family manager is no longer able to continue in that role for serious health reasons. What we need to do is transfer ownership so that one of the other members within the family plan can take over the role of manager and become responsible for future payments when they are due. Is there a way to do this? Any assistance would be gratefully received.1.8KViews1like8Comments
