Dropbox keeps trying to charge me and I have the free option.

Dropbox keeps trying to charge me and I have the free option. How the heck can I get ahold of support? This is absolutely ridiculous

    I have been trying to reach out to them for a month now. I created some account, I don't remember when, and connected it to my card. I am charged 11.99 every month. I do not know what email it is. It is fkn horrible how you can't reach out to them unless you are logged in to your account. What can I do? This is fked up.

      Make sure you are not logged in at all not even to the forums and then go to www.dropbox.com/support. From there you should get an option to get account help. You can then log a ticket. Often using an incognito/private window will do this for you.

    Hi Ambercormier, welcome to our Community! 

     

    Is it possible that you have another account, and the charge is related to that? Have you tried our self-serve look-up tool, in order to locate where the charge is coming from?

     

    If I were you, I'd give it a go. 

     

    Keep me posted of any updates!

      Since the payment hasn't went through I don't have a transaction ID. Is there a way to delete my whole entire account?

        Hi Ambercormier, I hope you don’t mind me jumping in. 

         

        If you check your bank statement, do you only see Dropbox next to these charges or is there also a reference to Apple/Google, as well?

    I was just charged £199.00 for some Dropbox subscription I have no recollection of signing up for and am trying to contact Dropbox support via an email form, but nothing happens when I press the submit button. Really frustrating I would just like an email address to contact them with. Thanks

      There isnt an email address - its all via the website. 

       

      If its not clicking try using a different browser, or, one in incognito mode.

       

      What I would say, however, is if you did not give Dropbox your card info you need to speak to your card provider as your card has been cloned.

      I have a paid account and have been attempting to contact chat support for OVER AN HOUR. This is a waste of my time. I am a paying customer with BASIC QUESTIONS and I can't get assistance. Why???

        Hi jw83876, sorry to hear about this! 

         

        Do you face any problems, when you try to contact our Support team? Can you let me know more as to what happens? 

         

        If you wish, you can also share some details or questions you have, and I'll get back to you.

         

        Keep me posted!

  • I cancelled my subscription months ago and keep getting charged. My account even says that I have the basic plan, and I get emails saying I need to come back, but I have been charged monthly all along. This is apparently the only way to reach out for help that isn't ai. How do I make this stop?

      Hey FrustratedFormerUser, sorry to hear about this.

       

      Are you receiving charges on your credit card directly through Dropbox or are they Apple iTunes/Google Play charges?

        I am being charged monthly with my cc even though I cancelled. How can I get customer service help?
