Not able to upgrade to Dropbox Plus - Family

Hi,
I am trying to change my plan from "Dropbox Plus - Individual" to "Dropbox Plus - Family".
When I click on 'Buy Now', it shows an error in red saying "You're already on Dropbox Plus"
It only allows me to upgrade to "Dropbox - Professional"
No one from Sales was able to help and my emails have gone unanswered.
Can someone please help
Thank you
Regards
Sahil Goyal

    Thanks for that sahilgoyal!

    It looks like you're account is currently part of a free team structure, which is probably why you're not seeing the option to change to Family.

    Can you try leaving or disbanding the free team structure (more info on this here), and then try change plan once more?

    How are you currently paying for Dropbox sahilgoyal ? You can only upgrade if you are paying Dropbox direct and not using a third party such as the Apple or Google Play stores.

    Hello, 

    I have a free dropbox account and I have been trying to upgrade to Plus- for individuals for 3 days now. 

    When I fill out my details and click on purchase, nothing happens. I don't even get a notification/ error. 

    It just seems like the website is not working. 

     

    I tried this with several credit cards and in several web browsers (Edge & Chrome). 

     

    I am pretty desperate right now. 

    How can I solve this? 

     

    Thank you,

      Hey Bldruyck, welcome to our Community! 

      Just out of curiosity, do you use this page when trying to upgrade? 

      Let me know, and we'll take it from there!
