How can I switch from a team account to an individual plan?
Is it just me, or are there so many barriers to moving from a 3-user account to a 1-user account that I just end up paying 3x more than what I should be paying becuase it is so impossible to understa...

If you invited them to join a shared folder, then each member can see all other members. But if you only sent them a view-only shared link, then they can't see any information about others that may have access as well.

Like I said, this is incredibly hard and confusing. I would like 5TB for one user. I have wasted probably $1000 over the past three years on 3 users and 15TB because it's so impossible to figure this out and the scary messages of what will happen with a "downgrade" is so dissuasive that your customers become paralyzed.

If you have any further queries, feel free to message back.

So, I tried to play along with all of this, and here is what is happening: I was already overpaying $900 for $300 of service (three users and 15TB when I need only one users and 5TB) because you don't offer a way to go down to one user without cancelling. I tried to understand (because you'd think there must be a way) to make this happen. I could not understand it so got forced into another year (in June). So I got back at it trying to figure it out in August. I try following all of the instructions and decide to trust in Dropbox when they say to cancel what I have and I can "downgrade" to an individual plan. But now I find out that this means I have kissed away the $900 and now I have to pay at least another $300, just to have one user and 3TB?!? Do I have that right?!?

OK, this has been a really weird journey, but ultimately, it seems like I will be getting a pro-rated refund for the previous plan, and I am now on the Essentials plan. So I guess, case closed!
