Paid for upgrade through iOS app and got nothing

Last Wednesday:

 

1. In iOS app, selected Upgrade Account and selected “$9.99 a month.”

 

2. App charged me $99.99.

 

3. Dropbox account stayed at Basic.

 

Since Friday, been trying to find out what I can do to get my account set to Plus. But Dropbox claims it’s Apple’s issue and Apple’s troubleshooting says that I have to contact Dropbox. I have tickets open with both Apple and Dropbox, but neither have been answered.

 

In the meantime, I have run out of space for a client project.

 

Any tips for how I can get the upgrade I paid for?

        Hi Vanessa,

        Can you try something for me? Go to the Dropbox iOS app, open the account tab (right most tab), and scroll down to Restore Purchases. Try tapping that (make sure you're still signed into the same Dropbox account you want to upgrade, and the same iTunes account you made the purchase on).

      Go into Settings within the Dropbox app on your Apple device and Restore Purchases.

        Try that but keeps saying unable to restore. The operation couldn’t be completed. But has got out of my account 7days ago
