How can I cancel and get a refund?
Please help! I was charged just shy of $200 on a DropBox acct that I did not know was there. Please help me cancel and get the refund
- 2 years agoHi everyone,Here is some key info on cancelling accounts and refunds:If you want to claim a valid refund, you need to contact support for assistance. This is the safest way to process your personal info (i.e. bank account details, invoices etc) instead on our public forum.To cancel a paid Dropbox plan, you can follow these instructions. When cancelling, your account will change to Dropbox Basic at the end of your current billing cycle (monthly or yearly) and you should not be charged again.Apple/Direct DebitIf you purchased your Dropbox subscription via the Apple App Store, you need to reach out to Apple directly to request a refund. Apple's refund policy covers purchases made in the last 90 days only. More info here.If you paid for your Dropbox subscription by direct debit, you are able to request a chargeback through your bank, you can contact them to request a refund.If you did not create a Dropbox subscription and/or do not recognize the charge:
- Check your billing information (if you have an account). Log in to dropbox.com > Click your avatar (profile picture or initials) in the top-right corner > Click Settings > Click Billing.
- You can also use our Look up tool to check a credit or debit card purchase
- Contact support if you don’t have an account and/or would like to report an unauthorised transaction.
Notes on refunds:- If you live in the EU, UK, or Turkey, you qualify for a refund should you cancel your Dropbox Plus, Family, Professional, or Essentials subscription within 14 days of the initial purchase. You can contact support to request it.
- Refunds are often not offered for Dropbox subscriptions and team member licences.
- You're able to cancel your Paid Account at any time. Refunds are only issued if required by law, so make sure to cancel before your current billing cycle ends if you wish.
Hope this helps!Sam

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.

Dropbox cannot charge you if they don't have your billing information. If you've been charged and didn't give them your billing information, then someone else has and you should be contacting your bank.

I want to get a refund ! And how can I do ?
- Mark2 years agoSuper User II
How did you pay? If it was via an App Store you need to cancel at least 48 hours before. You also need to speak to them about refunds.

I have a charge once amonth for approx $17 or so dollars. I first noticed this a year or so ago and thought i had dealt with it. Over and over again, once a month, this charge. I can't figure out how to get through to dropbox to cancel. I have a basic plan with no billing information listed whatsoever.
I have tried to look up the charges using the tool but it keeps giving me the same error message saying "enter expiration date".
I have no idea how long back these charges go but I need a refund for ALL OF THEM. I am so furious right now about this. You're charging me when I have not asked to pay for anything and not given my credit info.
My email is [email removed as per Community Guidelines] and I need this cleared up immediately.

I just sent you an email, in order for us to have a closer look into this. Reply back to me, and we'll take it from there.
Thanks!

I cancelled my subscription through an agent and was down graded to basic plan. However I was charged for a professional plan and was asked to upgrade. I don't want to upgrade. I want a refund.

You'll need to contact support: www.dropbox.com/support and ask for assistance as its an account related query including sending them the chat logs/email ref. of the reps conversation 🙂
