36 TopicsDropbox unlinked my accounts suddenly
Hi there! I've have a free dropbox personal account for 15 years, and at some point added a free Teams account. Several years ago I upgraded the Teams account to a Professional account. ----- Today I got this message, and all my Professional files were taken off my machines (they're still on dropbox of course) Business Dropbox Removed: Your business Dropbox account was removed from this computer because your accounts were unlinked. Your files have not been deleted. ------ I would love to be able to link my two accounts, and continue having two separate dropbox home folders on my machine. Basically, I am leaving the country tomorrow morning and will have extremely limited internet access. I just need it to work how it used to, but I accept that I may need an alternate setup based on whatever Dropbox has changed. When I am signed into my Personal (free) account, it says I have 3TB of space, and the same for the Professional account. Within the settings menu the Pro account is called Personal Account, but when I check the billing plan for the Pro account, it calls it Dropbox Professional. Any solutions? Many Thanks! (too bad this is my only option for customer support 🙂Solved11KViews5likes27CommentsClarifications regarding personal use plans vs business use plans
Hi, I am trying to figure out a general outline of all the plans, and here are my finds. Personal Use plans : (payed as an individual) 1. Basic 2 Gb 1 user free 2. Plus 2 TB 1 user 3. Family 2 TB 6 users 4. Professional 3 TB 1 user 5. Essentials 3 TB 1 user Commercial Use plans: (payed as a company) 1. Essentials 3 TB 1 user 2. Business 9 TB 3 users+ 3. Business Plus 15 TB 3 users+ 4. Enterprise Custom Custom But I also found another group of Business plans: 1. Professional 3 TB 1 user 2. Standard 5 TB 3 users+ 3. Advanced 15 TB 3 users+ Questions: 1. I see Essentials as being both in the list of personal plans as well as in the group of company payed plans. Is it correct? 2. Is Professional plan a company payed plan or a personal payed plan? 3. Standard is the same thing as Business ? Advanced is the same as Business Plus? Or are they different? 4. The 3rd group of plans (Professional, Standard, Advanced) are all company payed plans? 5. Are there plans that can be both personal payed as well as company payed plans? 6. I also want to know if all business plans are company payed plans or there are exceptions (personal plans that can be company payed for, or business plans that can be personally payed for). 7. Do Work account mean is a business account? (see question 6 for exceptions) Thank You, Dan4KViews0likes6CommentsWhat's the difference between a Family plan and a Professional plan?
I can’t find the differences between the family vs professional plan. I currently have the professional plan but want my wife to be able to upload her pictures to her own “Camera Backup_wife” folder and I believe that is not doable unless I’m mistaken? I read that a family plan would allow her to do this but I can’t find a comparison of the plans and so I’m wondering if I would loss features switching from Professional to Family? Will I still have large file transfers? And unlimited devices?Solved7.2KViews0likes3CommentsMy Dropbox Professional free trial hasn't begun?
Dropbox Plan Professional Payment Method Credit card How did you upgrade? Directly through the Dropbox website Question or Issue Hi, I purchased a Professional plan, entered my card details to receive the 30 day free trial. Shortly after purchasing I cancelled the plan, however I was expecting my trial to last until the end of the cycle (30 days) but it still says I have a basic plan. In my inbox, the only relevant emails I received from Dropbox were to: 1 Verify my email, and 2: Dropbox professional trial cancelled. I didnt receive am email upon account creation (not sure if thats usually the case) and I didnt receive a confirmation email upon Trial beginning, only after cancellation. Billing info on my account shows the Card used when starting the trial. Im also unable to start a new trial as it says my account is ineligible. Just wondering if anyone has had a similar experience or if there's any solution available. I havent been charged but Im pretty sure I should still be listed as having a professional trial, despite cancelling on the day of beginning the free trial as listed on the billing articles. Thank you,74Views0likes5CommentsShould I have a personal or Business account?
I own my business and use Dropbox Business. It's great and more secure than personal, which I have loads of data on. Is there any reason I should have both? I can't think of any. Seems like I should just migrate everything to DB Biz. Am I missing something?Solved3KViews0likes6CommentsWhere has the Dropbox Essentials plan gone?
Hi ... I've notice that the Dropbox Essentials plan has now disappeared (UK based) and the Professional account has now gained the couple of the Essentials extras.... E signatures etc I'm a Pro account holder and was going migrate over to the Essentials plan but can't as it doesn't exist - for UK... Confused ! Can Dropbox support offer some clarity .... ?? many thanksSolved732Views0likes9CommentsAllow us to buy more space on the Professional plan (even 10TB).
I’ve been using Dropbox for many years and I love it. Currently, I’m on the Professional plan with 4TB of storage. I’ve now reached a point where I’m running out of space and need to upgrade. I had a long chat with a Dropbox representative (she was friendly and very service minded), and she told me that in order to get more space, I would need to upgrade to a Teams plan, which requires paying for three users — a massive increase in cost. I agreed to do this, but since I already have a Teams plan under a different email, I wasn’t able to proceed. I hope you’ll consider allowing users to upgrade and purchase more storage on the Professional plan in the future. It would be great to have the option to buy, for example, 10TB. Best, Muggie98Views0likes1CommentI'm using a Professional plan. Do I have another option to upgrade, other than a Business one?
Hi folks, I'm using Dropbox Professional, with 3TB worth of space that I'm told is almost used up. Unless I'm mistaken, I don't have the option of simply adding another one or more terabytes of space to give me more room. It seems I have no alternative to jump up to a Business account, but I'm a team of just one person and don't want to add more users. Do I have to pay for three users on a Business account even if there's only one active user (me), or can I still fly solo but have all the extra storage such accounts provide>?

I can`t see the option to cancel my free professional trial. In the plan management site there is nothing listed, but in the app I can still see I have a professional account (also there is shown I have free 3TB space). And no, I dind`t got dropbox via the app. If I try to reach the support, it doesn`t work. If I try to use the chat, everything they say doesn`t work until the connection breaks down after a while. And even if I try to delete my whole account, there is a failure message. So nothing works, but I got the mail, that if I don`t cancel my free trial I will be charged. I am trying to solve this problem since over a week. Can somebody please help me?Solved2.8KViews0likes14Comments
