Cancel subscription that I no longer have access to

I need some help cancelling an account that I am no longer able to login to. I have been being billed yearly for a premium subscription but I no longer have access to the email it is associated with and therefor can’t log in to cancel the subscription

    You'll need to contact Dropbox Support directly. Visit the Support page while you're NOT signed in to a Dropbox account, including these forums, and you'll see an option for Billing issues. It's best to use an Incognito or Private browsing session to make sure you're not signed in.

    I have a Dropbox subscription with my university email. But now that I’m not longer at the university permission to that email has been rescinded meaning I’m paying my monthly subscription and am not able to access the account since I can’t pass the security code authentication. Any suggestions on how to proceed would be gratefully appreciated! I don’t want to keep paying for the rest of my life 😞

      Hi MilkRash, welcome to our Community! 

       

      We can definitely help you cancel the plan. However, in order to do that, I'd need to reach out to your Community-linked email address, in order for us to have a closer look into this, is it okay? 

       

      Let me know more!

        Hi Megan, 

        The email in question is [email removed as per Community Guidelines] Hope this helps or do you mean the email attached to the account I’m messaging off of now? Is it possible to private message you it?

      Are you talking about cancelling your subscription, or deleting your entire account?

       

      You can see what plan you're on by going to your Plan page. If it says you're on Basic, that's a free account. If it says anything else, those are paid plans. The Plan page will also tell you what billing period you're on, and it offers an option to cancel a subscription at the bottom of the page.

    I cannot cancel my account, and I keep getting charged for an account not being used.  HELP This also may be an account with an email that is no longer active.

      I also may have an additional dropbox with an old email that is no longer active.  How can I cancel it?

        Hi DSK1969, let's jump right into this! 

         

        If you don't have access to the account in question, but you have access to the bank details of the payment, can we reach out to you via email, to investigate?

         

        Let me know!

    I'm trying to cancel Dropbox charges that has been incurring on a credit card for sometime now. However, I'm not able to locate the account associated with it. We tried to do a credit card purchase look up and it didn't work. Please advise.
