The plan you were offered, Basic Plus if I'm assuming correctly, isn't widely available, possibly even limited to certain geographic locations. You can't visit the site and choose that plan. It's only offered, and is likely one of the experiments that Dropbox tests once in a while. The bot likely has no idea it exists.

Thank you for this insight, Rich. Although it doesn't increase my trust, to realize Dropbox only gives me customer service through an insufficient chatbot. This actually decreases my trust even further.

It is only reasonable and fair that those are prioritised for people paying for them.

Information was withheld, in an apparent attempt to over sell me. I was very clear about what I wanted. And was given incorrect information about available package options. This has still not been addressed.

The chat bot can only supply information regarding the regularly available packages; the same ones listed on the website. It has no information on any experiments or special offers that Dropbox may, on occasion, make available. It also has no insight into your account to see what you are or aren't eligible for. It's just a bot for frequently asked questions.
