Support for rogue billing charges
Hello, I have charges on my credit card from dropbox, but do not have an active account with a paid plan. Since I do not have a paid plan I cannot get support in any way. I tried using the "Billing...
This is just like what happened to me!
I have just realised that I have been charged £8.99 each month on my credit card - it shows up as Apple.com/bill - we don't have any Apple devices or subscriptions - I spoke to Apple and they confirmed (eventually) that it is for a Dropbox subscription. I only have Basic Dropbox, as does my husband and my son, so cannot see any reason for this charge. I was (eventually) able to stop future charges (hopefully).
However £8.99 has been charged to my credit card every month since October 2019, and (while there is clearly a lesson in there for me to check my credit card bills more carefully) we clearly have not used this subscription, so now I want to find out how to get a refund.
I would really appreciate any help on how to speak to an actual person at Dropbox.
Thanks!

Hi ArchiJo, thanks for posting here today!
Based on the info you provided, you mentioned that the charge was coming from the App Store from an iOS mobile device.
Due to the way that App Store purchases are handled, we are unable to provide refunds directly for iOS in-app purchases. I would have to redirect you back to Apple in order to pursue a refund.
Thank you so much!
I already spoke to Apple and they said that because it is a 'subscription' it needs to be refunded by Dropbox, not them.
You at Dropbox will be able to see that none of the storage that was presumably available through this erroneous Dropbox Plus subscription has been used.
Also - why could I not log back in to this forum using the same name as before?
When I type in my username I keep getting the message 'That username is already taken.'
I know that shouting at the computer, 'Yes, it is taken, by me - let me in!' won't help - can you tell me what would?
Thanks.

You likely weren't trying to sign in. You were creating a new account and the system wouldn't let you because the name you entered is already taken. Make sure you're using the correct form to sign in.
YES, ArchiJo,
How did you get this stopped? I too have-not noticed the billing for years.. .my bad for not being Detailed.
It is impossible to connect with a real person from this site! SO FRUSTRATING.Same here, frustration at an all time high. And cannot get anywhere online. And no I do not want to chat with your BOT!!!

Do send us your ticket number, once you have it, so we can look it up on our end too.
I hope this helps.
none of these messages help at all. What percentage of dropbox's revenue comes from people who are unable to cancel their accounts/
