Everything went well.
Last week i was added from a Company where i work freelance to business.
My account
Was added in their account!
I don’t want this, i asked the administrator to remove me.

Now I’m back on my account, But I’m
Back basic?
While my Apple account says i still have a payed account.
If i want to contact someone it says not possible because I’m basic. But i payed for plus.
If i want to purchase for plus It says i already have an account linked..

This is so terrible

    Hi Jvh123, thanks for bringing this to our attention.

     

    As it sounds like you merged your Dropbox account with a Dropbox Business team, this means that your subscription was cancelled and a pro-rated refund was made. 

     

    You should be able to see the refund amount on this page on your account. 

     

    When the admin converted your account back to a personal plan away from the team, you would return to a Basic plan. You'll need to upgrade to your Plus plan again manually.

     

    If you need any further assistance, please let me know!

      I know.
      I’m back on basic. If I look into my Apple account i have on my e-mail that is linked to Dropbox still a payed us account till 01/25.

      But i remain basic if i login on dropbox. If i choose option to upgrade: It says ‘ It seems that my Apple id is already paying for another Dropbox’

      So I Apple id says:
      Still active, Dropbox says inactive and basic. And there is the error.

      Help me out, normally i could live chat because i pay… But Dropbox says I’m basic, and I’m not!

        Thanks for the info, have you tried contacting Apple directly to see if they're able to cancel or refund the subscription from their end?
