722 TopicsCan people see a group's name when opening my shared link, and not my real name?
These are critical pre-sale questions. Dropbox Plan: Free, but buying Plus as soon as I have answers to my questions. Payment Method: Will be card. How did you upgrade?: Will be directly through the Dropbox website) Currently on free plan. Want to up upgrade to Plus for a month, then plan to switch to Yearly if this works the first month. (One place the site says there's a trial and then it doesn't. So this is how I have to do it.) Now on to my questions in order to purchase... This account to so people can see photos/documents and download. (It's sharing from our event but not with a free-for-all of people uploading photos.) I created a Folder with our event name and am sharing via Link to that Folder. There will be other folders inside that one. People will see that "main" folder and know they're in the right place. IF I use my name they will be confused. I'd like them to see the Folder Name and email address. But I expect you want a person's name when creating an account. Especially because I see so many people having account problems and there's no human being to help fix issues. So I NEED to know: How can I set my First & Last Name so that Dropbox honors my account and payment and knows I'm legitimate BUT viewers aren't confused? The other issue is that I do not want them to see my name and to be solicited upon arriving at the Link's destination? They see "[Name] shared this folder. Want to do more with it?" Log in/Sign Up." I only want them to see the folder I've set up. I am fine with them seeing a name at the top but not my first/last name. {I thought of putting our common group's name in first/last name but remember... I don't want payment problems.} Lastly, if I pay for 1 month and want to switch to yearly, when do I make that change? I don't want to do it too late. I don't want to do it at say 3 weeks and lose the 4th week. It's not clear when any cancellation takes effect or how far ahead of time it must be done. I don't want to lose everything during a gap or misunderstanding. Hoping for fact-based guidance.15Views0likes1CommentI upgraded from a trial to Plus via the site, but I'm getting a payment error
Dropbox Plan Plus Payment Method iDeal How did you upgrade? Directly through the Dropbox website Question or Issue I upgraded from Free Trial to the Plus plan, via the webbrowser (firefox) on Macbook, and everything went fine until after payment via iDeal, returning to the Dropbox site it showed an error simply stating "Something went wrong". And now I'm still in the free trial plan within Dropbox with a 2 GB limit, no upgrade to 2TB whatsoever. That's an expensive error.51Views0likes6CommentsI'm trying to upgrade but it says my account is already using the Plus plan.
I've been using the dropbox basic plan for years, but decided to upgrade to the Plus plan. I got an error when trying to upgrade, but it shows my account plan as Plus. It's saying that I'm out of storage at 12 GB. I can't go in and reupgrade right now, as it shows my plan already at Plus. Help!40Views0likes5CommentsI'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.

I've had the Dropbox Plus plan for over 10 years and have been more or less happy with the service. My account is about â full at any given time. Most of the time I use the desktop app (Mac OS 15.6.1, dropbox v.237.4.5655) which syncs my files across 3 devices and between several apps. I don't sync all files to the desktop obviously, so sometimes I have to log in to the web version to see all files. Dropbox bombards me with requests to upgrade to business level and work with "my team". not just once or twice, but EVERY TIME I log in. That and the giant green button at the top a different color from everything else on the page constantly begging me to upgrade... aaaarrrrrghhhhh. Is the desktop site intended to drive away non-corporate customers? I've done lots of projects with other people and the whole point of using Dropbox was the ease of passing files between all our different freelance accounts. It's out-of-proportion annoying. I have scoured all the notification and account settings and found nothing. Please how can I stop it? thanks!37Views0likes1CommentHow can I downgrade your plan to the Dropbox Plus account with 1TB of space?

Dropbox Plan Plus Payment Method Credit Card How did you upgrade? Directly through the Dropbox website Question or Issue On 3rd Nov 2025, I updated the credit card details for payment, and the update and payment were successful. But on 6th Nov 2025, I received an email saying Renewal Payment failed, need to update and pay again. After I updated this time, I received the receipt. Now, my Bank Statement shows 3rd Nov and 6th Nov also deducted $129.47, which means that I have a double payment for the subscription period 1/11/2025 to 1/11/2026. May you help me check if the 3rd Nov Payment will be refunded or not? and I will contact the Bank at the same time. Thank you.35Views0likes1CommentMy colleague needs additional storage to view content inside a folder that we share. Why?
My friend and I are volunteers at an animal shelter, and both use Windows PCs. I take videos of the dogs to be posted on social media to help get them adopted.
