"Updating Dropbox Account"

I cancelled a 30-day trial for a Dropbox upgrade option and now my desktop app is stuck on Updating Dropbox Account, for about 12 hours now. I've tried reinstallation, advanced reinstallation and everything but nothing is working. I've also gotten the temporary error message when reinstalling it. Online everything works fine, it's just the app here giving me trouble.

 

With this of course.

    Hey there Skeletonsnax - sorry to hear about this.

     

    Can you let us know your device's exact OS version and confirm that you performed a clean, advanced reinstall as outlined here?

     

    Thanks so much!

      Oh don't worry about this, I resolved it on my own. 

       

      I redid the same trial that caused this trouble, uninstalled my DB program entirely and ended the trial, which corrected everything wrong.
