How can I cancel a free trial?
When I started the free trial subscription I had an Android, now I have an Iphone. How do I cancel my free trial?
Hey there jwool1965 - how are you today?
At first, I'd suggest taking a look at the following Help Center article:
https://help.dropbox.com/billing/cancel-free-trial
Let me know how this goes!

Hi There
Cancel free trial: 2TB space 7 days
I try to follow the steps as set out but the menu and directions given do not correlate to my screen. I cannot identify the menu selections inorder to complete the steps.

Hello to you too Steve - how are you today?
I understand you're having issues with cancelling a Trial subscription - is that correct?
If I want to be completely honest here, I'm not aware of a weekly Trial subscription as the one you mentioned; could it be that you're on the Basic plan that comes with 2 GB of space and comes for free and perhaps you're referring to another service?
Just to make sure we're on the same page, can you take a look at your account's plan tab and let me know what it reports there?

Let me know what you find and we'll take it from there steve67. Thanks!

Hello
Am almost completing my free trial period and dont need the service further, so please advise how to cancel during the trial period.
I cant find the Admin console on the left side or after clicking on the logo.Please guide me.
Thanks
Dinesh
- DaphneDropbox Staff
Hey Dinesh P K, I hope you're well today!
If you haven't already, please take a look at the link Walter provided above.
If you're not seeing the Admin console, you can check which trial you're currently using from your Plan page here.
Let me know if this helps!

oh my, I am striving not to get frausted. I have twitted many tweets and have emailed many emails. I want to cancel my free subscription. I apologized but I do not need this service as of now. Please get me out so I will not be charged!
- WalterDropbox Staff
Hi there homemrs1mc; welcome to our Community!
As your query seems to echo a discussion I had some time ago, I moved your post under this thread.
Whenever you get the chance, please take a look at the previous comments and let me know if you have any follow up questions.
Thanks!
PS: If your account's plan tab shows that you're on the Basic plan, you won't get charged for anything; this plan comes for free.

Hi all,
Please help me to cancel the Dropbox Trial Professional
I have clicked "Cancel Trial" but nothing happen :(
- ChipkillExplorer | Level 4
Thanks but I have clear all cache/cookies in Safari/Chrome, click "Cancel Trial" again but cannot cancel trial
- shannon5Explorer | Level 4
Hi, I received an email saying I have until April 30, 2020 to cancel my Dropbox Professional Trial before being charged. I went to the "Plan" tab to the right of the "General" tab in Settings. I clicked on the "Cancel trial" button to the right of the Plan summary (Dropbox Professional Trial) but nothing happens. The button appears to be broken. When I click on the button, the button is briefly outlined in light blue and the text turns royal blue but nothing happens. Thinking the Safari browser is the problem, I switched to Google Chrome but I continue to have the same problem. What am I doing wrong? Is there any other way to cancel the trial before being charged?

Hello,
Tomorrow my pro plan is ending. I can not cancel the plan, since tha cancel trial button does not work.
What to do?
- JayDropbox Staff
Hi tijanamladjen, thanks for posting on the Community!
If you’re on a Plus or Professional trial, you can downgrade your plan here, provided you're signed into the correct account.
Please note that you’ll need to follow the instructions to fully downgrade from the trial.
Let me know how it goes!
- Thomas LaneNew member | Level 2I downloaded the application. Nothing indicated that I started the free trial. I uninstalled the application, with no plan to reinstall. I really don't need this application. I don't want to be charged.
- LusilDropbox Staff
Hey Thomas Lane, I moved your post here where other users have expressed a similar concern.
You can check out this article if you're on an individual subscription (Plus or Professional), and this one if you're on a Business plan.
If you have any trouble along the way, just give us a nudge and we'll make sure to get back to you as soon as possible. Cheers!

I have been trying cancel my Trial. I click the button and nothing happens.
I cannot Downgrade to a lesser plan either.
I do not require the the current plan and do not wish to be charged for it.
I have tried clicking the button in multiple different browsers and nothing happens; beyond the button clicking. It stays on the same screen.
Please cancel the trial Prior to be me being charged for it.
- NathanGrosetNew member | Level 2
I have resolved this issue.
I had to disconnect my group and revert my work account to a full personal account. After I did this I was able to click Cancel

I have been trying for days to cancel my free trial with no avail. I go to my account, open the "Plan" tab, and then proceed to click "Cancel Trial" but nothing happens.
Every link that I have found has led me to the same page where the same thing evidently happens. I have been logging on and doing this for about a week now and nothing has changed.
Can my membership status be changed internally so that I am not charged on 5/12?
- anonymous
Hello idarcy997!
I recommend that you clear your browser cookies and cache. Below I have provided step-by-step instructions on how to do so. After you are done, go back and cancel your trial (I will also provide instructions below). If you are trying to cancel from the DropBox App, Uninstall the app and then reinstall it. I hope this helps!
