    Hey there pollycat - sorry to jump in on this and apologies for any inconvenience this might have brought so far.

     

    I just wanted you to know that I have been monitoring this thread as well and I have also passed your comments along to the expert handling your case internally. At this point I would suggest that you continue via email with them directly as this would be the quickest way to get this resolved. 

     

    Thank you for your patience so far and happy Monday!

    Glad to say my situation has been resolved now.

     

    Dropbox went ahead and downgraded me to "Basic" from the previous legacy "Plus" plan.

    I was then able to re-purchase a new non-legacy Plus plan.

    They then upgraded me at their end to "Professional" at no extra charge.

     

    I've now got what I set out to achieve and am satisfied with the result.

     

    Thanks for the support shown here, I appreciate it.

Thank you for keeping me posted pollycat!

 

I've passed your additional comments along to the experts handling your case and gave 'em a little nudge as well - they should be reaching out soon so make sure to check your inbox regularly :wink:

 

If there's anything else I can do, please let me know!
