I am being charged for a Dropbox account that I do not have
Is there anyway to get in touch with an actual human at Dropbox? I am being charged monthly for Dropbox account that I do not have, and I cannot for the life of me get an actual person to help with this on the Dropbox side. Is the only option to go to my bank and dispute the charges?
Thanks!

This is a total SCAM! I am being charged $37 a month and I am unable to actually SPEAK with someone because it says: "Your Basic plan includes access to our Help Center, Community and Chatbot." Complete fraud and I am sure there will be some type of class action lawsuit because they are ripping people off left and right. At no point did I (or from what I am reading other people as well) sign up for any type of recurring payments. I can't believe people actually in good faith work for this company knowing that they are stealing money from unknowing victims.

If you did not give Dropbox your card details then YOU need to speak to your card company and report fraud - somebody has taken your details and possibly ID and is using them.
If, however, you did you need to log on to the correct account as if it says Basic this one is not it. Use https://help.dropbox.com/billing/find-credit-card-charge to help
Thanks for the 'help', Mark. At some point in time I'm sure there was something I needed to access via Dropbox, ergo, my card information being used. I did not however sign any contract for recurring charges. And I am unable to actually speak with someone or delete my card details from my account because there is no way to actually FIND that information on my account.
Let's think this through, Mark: Do you really think that if someone were to steal my credit card, they first thing they would do is sign up for a Dropbox acctount? I think not.

Phone support is only available on Business accounts. All others can submit a ticket.
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 am having the same issue. Did you get this solved?
Hi Nancy, I made a dropbox Sign account early last year in 2023/07/06, because I want to transfer some documents to others. I think there was a free version, or a free trial that I may have signed up for.
But I just know I subscribed the account in 2024/07/06 because there was a 120 dollar charge at that day. I cancelled the new subscription as soon as I know this, and it says I can get a refund, but nothing happens. Now my account is "basic", but I don't get any money back!!!
When reviewing my credit expenses for the past year I also found a 120 dollar charge in 2023/07/06, I was wondering if it was possible to get it refunded because I even don't know the subscription at all!!
Pretty disappointed by the support page and I have no idea who to contact to pursue this.
My appeal is get the two years money back, PLEASE HELP ME.
sure, my email address is [removed per the Community's Guidelines]
Is very easy to pay and get a subscription w/dropbox, but at the time to provide support to the client, I rate you useless and incompetent.
I paid to have 2 dropbox: personal and bus. I see only 1 account and constantly getting messages that I'm short of space and to do an upgrade. I bought a computer and did the upgrade. Retuned the computer and bought another one. Still getting the same message. What happened with the money I sent to upgrade the dropbox space? I want to know where are the 2 accounts I paid for it?
You are very quick to charge money, but useless and the time to provide any support. I want this issue to be fix ASAP. Can you provide a phone or at least a day/time were Help Support will be calling to fix the issues?
Thank you for your cooperation on this matter.

Use the credit card charge lookup tool to identify the accounts that you're paying for. Make sure you're using the correct email address to sign in for each paid account.
Can you provide a phone or at least a day/time were Help Support will be calling to fix the issues?You mentioned paying for a personal and business account. Was the business account and actual Business Team account (Business, Business Plus, Enterprise), or was it just another Plus, Professional, Essentials account that you're using for business purposes.
Only Business Team accounts have access to phone support and it's handled via a callback initiated from the Admin console of the account. There is no number to call.
If you're unable to identify the accounts that you're paying for, you can contact Support by opening a ticket. 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.
- Hi,
I am being charged for an account I do not have access to. A colleague left my work, leaving with the account, changed the login and continues to use my payment details. I have no contact with him at all. I have contacted to bank to stop payments yet they persist yearly. The only option is to close my bank account which I do not want to do. Please can someone contact me so I can get my details removed. I can supply transaction details etc.
Thank you 🙏🏻- Mark
Your bank should be doing that for you - especially if you say the authorisation has been removed.
However, via Dropbox the ONLY way to do this is at www.dropbox.com/support while not logged in if you are not a paying member yourself. An incognito window may be better.
- Hi Mark,
I have done this with my bank yet I have been charged again for this years subscription.
I have tried what you have suggested, yet it does not help.
I would like to speak to customer support please
Thanks
