Can I temporarily upgrade my Dropbox account?
I only have 3 computers in service. But need to get files from several older computers. Can I change my plan temporarily while this happens?

Do you mean upgrade to a paid plan which allows more devices, then downgrade again when you're done moving files from the older computers?
If so, yes. Just upgrade to a paid plan on a monthly billing cycle and you can cancel it at any time. Once cancelled, you'll finish out the remaining time on your current billing cycle and then be downgraded back to a Basic account.
