Dropbox Plan Business Standard Payment Method No payment information provided. Already known due to ongoing payments via Visa. How did you upgrade? Mobile app store on Android phone Question or Issue Subject: Cancel Dropbox Standard trial & recover old files Question: Hello, I canceled my Dropbox Standard trial to Basic two weeks before the end of the trial period. Happening: However, I never received an email confirmation. Two days before the end of the trial, I received an email asking me to provide my billing information. However, I canceled the trial. How can I be sure my trial has been canceled without being billed for it after the trial period? Furthermore, all my old photos uploaded from approximately 2010 to 2020 have disappeared, even though I have a paid account on an old Dropbox account. How do I get these photos back? I only use three devices and currently use less than 1 GB of data. I now have a dropbox Basic account. Expect to happen: 1. Email confirmation that my Dropbox Business Standard trial has ended before November 22, 2025. 2. I would prefer to have my photos back, as I have been paying subscription fees for them for years. If you cannot restore these photos, I am hereby filing a complaint and claiming damages. I look forward to a written response and a solution from the Dropbox team as soon as possible.52Views0likes3CommentsWhy does the interface display my Dropbox account as Basic, if I've subscribed to a Plus plan?
Dropbox Plan Plus, Payment Method (Credit Card) How did you upgrade? (directly through the Dropbox website) Question or Issue I’ve been subscribed to Plus since August and my monthly payments have gone through successfully. However, when I logged into my account today, it showed that I’m on the Basic plan, and I’m unable to access the files I previously uploaded.How can I fix this?Solved56Views0likes3CommentsI can't seem to access my Dropbox files without paying for a plan.
Question or Issue I received a free 2GB Dropbox account with a laptop that I purchased and I'm trying to access photos from 2014 to probably 2023 when I purchased an iPhone and bought 50GB of storage from Apple for $.99 per month. So, when I sign in to my account it's showing the minimum plan at 2000 GB at $9.99 per month billed annually. Really?!!! This is the minimum. If that's the case, then Dropbox is losing out on a lot of business. Someone who only wants to store photos and videos of family and friends has only one option to get access to their photos at Dropbox at a cost of $120. These are my photos and I am happy to pay a fee to gain access to the 10GB Dropbox is stating they have in my account (8GB over the 2), but this is a customer nightmare. Sounds like bait and switch to me. Give a free account of 2GB on Toshiba, HP, etc. computers and then charge customers a ridiculous fee to gain access to their own photos and videos. AND I can't speak to anyone because I don't have a plan that's above the basic. WOW! Who wants to do business with a company that is not willing to provide personal customer support to ALL it's customers. Thank you to anyone that can shed light on how I can find out how to download my own photos from Dropbox without having to pay an enormous fee.Solved390Views0likes8CommentsFamily plan questions regarding file access
I was on the Basic 2GB plan, and a friend invited me to their family plan, which gave me 2TB of storage. If I use this storage, can anyone in the family group, including the admin(family manager), see my files and folders? Also, if I leave the family plan and go back to my Basic plan, what will happen to the files and folders I previously stored? Will they be deleted?Solved67Views0likes1CommentWhat will happen to my files if I downgrade and go over my quota?
I upgraded to plus plan with 2000 GB of storage. I utilized the whole space with large number of stuffs. Now if I cancel my subscription, what will happen to those files? Will they be available forever? Or I get limited time?191Views0likes4CommentsHow long can we access files after team disbandment?
I ended our paid plan and disbanded our team, so all our members have been downgraded to free accounts. One of our members has a lot of files (more than can be accommodated with the free storage). She does not need to add any new files or sync or collaborate or anything, she just needs to be able to view and download or delete files for the next few months. Will this be possible, or will she lose those files completely?Solved84Views0likes1CommentWill I still be able to access my Dropbox while abroad? I'll be changing sim cards
I will be traveling abroad on vacation. I will have to switch out my sim card in order to get data at my destination abroad. If I switch out the sim card, will I still be able to access my dropbox while abroad? I have an iPhone XR if it matters.50Views0likes1CommentMy Dropbox has an unused team in it & I can't use my own account
I am a filmmaker. My Dropbox was used a couple of years ago by a co-worker on a project I am no longer connected to. He created a Team in my Dropbox. I was able to remove all the files from that Team but I cannot remove the Team folder. This Team is no longer used by anyone. It seems he is the only person with access to that Team folder, the only person who can delete it because he is the Admin for it because he created it. It's in MY Dropbox account and I no longer have any way to contact him. I tried to open a new Dropbox account but it wouldn't let me because my email is already used on my old Dropbox account. How can I regain full access to MY Dropbox so I can use it? How can I remove that no longer used Team Folder from MY Dropbox? Is there any way to contact a live person at Dropbox to help me with this? All I can find is the Community Support (here) and the totally useless Chatbot. This is a major problem for me. I only have ONE email address and I don't want to have to log on to different email accounts to see MY Dropbox. Help, please! I am extremely stressed out over this situation. I upgraded my account to a paid account but it did not make any difference.Solved129Views0likes2CommentsI lost access to my email and Dropbox do not support me to get my files back
