227 TopicsI have a Basic account but got charged - why?
I had a Basic Dropbox account while I was working (retired last year). I just noticed a charge for $119.88 on my credit card. I thought the Basic plan was free, and what should I do now about getting a refund and canceling this account?20Views0likes3CommentsHow can I cancel my annual subscription after my trial upgraded?

I have the largest account available to an individual and have added the one time storage to my account. I have a large family and have a lot of photos and videos that I want to store. However, I'm almost out of space (nearly 4TB) and need more. When I tried to upgrade, my only option for more storage than 4TB is to upgrade to a business account for three users at an increase of an additional $225/year. My first TB of increase was $60 and it hardly seems right to force me to delete my files or upgrade for 80% increase in price. Thank you.47Views0likes2CommentsHow to remove linked debit / credit card from my Dropbox account?
Dropbox Plan (Plus) Payment Method (Debit Card) Can you please help to unlink / unsubcribe / remove card details from my dropbox plus account. I previously paid yearly for Dropbox Plus Account and now I do not want to have this subscription. I tried in the BILLING SECTION but there's no way to delete the card details. I hope I can get your kind assistance and response.76Views0likes5CommentsMy account is a Basic one, but I received an email about an upcoming charge.
I have a received an email saying that my account will be renewed and charged 163.67$ on February 11, 2026. Once connected, my account is the Dropbox Basic which is free. I also have no bill to Pay that shows. Since the account was created for work and we don't want to use it anymore, I wish to delete it. Can I do it or should I terminate the forfait first? It also doesn't give me the option to terminate it on a computer. Thank you for your time.68Views0likes3CommentsGetting messages that my payment failed and to update my card when I just renewed
It's mad- your message says "363 days to renew, but it's "urgent" Billing messages are **bleep**, what is the correct position? And of curse i cant ring you or email to get an answer. see screamshots attached. i've never understood why you enjoy keeping Support so poor.55Views0likes4CommentsTrying to switch my billing from Apple to Dropbox
Dropbox Plan (Plus) Payment Method (switching from Apple to Dropbox- will be Paypal on Dropbox) How did you upgrade? (did not upgrade) I saw on another chat that people were having issues with switching their billing from Apple to Dropbox and I tried to reply to that thread but replies have been turned off so I'll try it here. I am having the exact same problem, I need my Dropbox subscription for work so I am not able to have it lapse for really more than a day. It is currently set to expire on January 28th 2026. Can I get the process started to get the billing switched over to Dropbox? I am switching mine because somehow I am getting double billed from Apple with one renewing on the 16th of each month and one renewing on the 28th. I'm hoping that if I get billed from Dropbox directly this can get resolved. It would also be nice for someone to recognize that I've been double billed for two years and offer something in return, but at a minimum I would like to be billed correctly going forward.73Views0likes5CommentsI got charged even after cancelling my free trial.
I was charged after I signed up to a free trial, which I cancelled within the trial period. It infuriates me, as on top of that, the cancellation was complex to do and at various points it seemed that I had cancelled only to find out at the bottom of the page that I needed to go through another 5 clicks to actually be able to cancel. I have found the experience very user-unfriendly - the real aim was not to offer me a trial to find out whether this option suited me, but to catch me out so that I - unwittingly - stayed a subscriber - and even after making sure I followed the procedure, my money was taken. I want to know if anyone has experienced the same thing and how to proceed to get my money back!178Views0likes4CommentsI used my dad's iDeal account and made the payment without consent.

My account will be renewed yearly automatically in January I asked them instead of refunding me directly to use the payment for my account and cancel and make my daughter's account a free account again.
