Dropbox India - Renewal Failed

Hello from India!

Does anyone have a solution on how to renew Dropbox in India. As per the new RBI rule, any subscription based plan over Rs. 5000, needs to be registered with the bank first. I don't see Dropbox on any banks platform of approved providers and therefore unable to renew my company's account.

I've tried with multiple cards and received this error message:

Payment Failed!
For Dropbox
On Bank Credit Card.
Reason: Non-compliant Recurring or Standing Instruction registered with Merchant. Use alternate source to pay the bill.
For details, contact your merchant.

Please help!
Thanks.

    Hey Gavin Fernandes, welcome to the Dropbox Community and sorry to hear you're having issues with this.

    Would it be OK if I reached out via the email that's connected to your profile here to have a further look internally?

    Let me know and we'll take it from there.

      Like *everyone else* in India I'm facing the same problem. I've tried all my cards and none of them have worked. My renewal date has passed so I'm a little anxious about my data. I'd like to have a way to pay and get on with life. Thanks.

        Hey smi8, thanks for posting about this here!

         

        Can you let me know what type of error message you get if you try to re-upgrade your Dropbox account? 

         

        Does the issue persist via different browsers, as well?

    Dear All. 

    I am sure a lot of people facing this issue for payment to Dropbox after RBIs new guidelines, for recurring payment merchants need to be registered. As Dropbox is not featured in that list, and also there is no option on Dropbox payment palteform where se can pay directly monthly / annually, stuck with no renewal.

     

    Can someone or Dropbox accounting team listen and help......

    Please help!!!
    Thanks.

        @Lori, sure you can drop me an email.

        As I mentioned I'm just being cautious, my billing date is 4 months away. I hope Dropbox is handling this proactively with respect to the new RBI norms, so that renewal transactions don't fail for Indian customers.
