Upgrade account, paid but not upgraded
I upgraded my account to a Plus account. I used the Dropbox website and paid directly for a full year, but my account hasn't been upgraded. I also haven't received a confirmation e-mail. What to do?
Meanwhile, I also created a ticket. I must say, the response time was impressive. Within 10 minutes someone replied to the ticket.
In the end I made three purchases:
- I made two purchases which didn't upgrade my account. The customer support could see both purchases in the system. They also saw the transactions were denied, so they will be refunded automatically. I guess the iDeal payment option doesn't work well.
- The third purchase was made with a credit card without any problems.
Maybe this answer will help someone else 🙂
- Hi,

Hi,
We paid for Dropbox Professional on 25/08/2022 but still our Plan is basic. Its not yet upgraded.
Please upgrade it ASAP.
I paid $166.79 Jan 22nd and I am getting emails that I need to upgrade!
It is possible it is for a different account but how do i tell?
I would have liked to talk to a real person
Thanks for the help.

Use the credit card charge lookup tool to identify the account you're being charged for.
I would have liked to talk to a real personPhone support is available to Business customers and is initiated via a callback in the Admin console. All others can find the support options available to them on the Support page.
If you're having a billing issue, 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.
Hello,
I've just set up a mandate on UPI for Dropbox Plus, and have made the first cycle's payment for the upgrade. I can see that my account is not getting upgraded. The chatbot doesn't have any solutions, and I'm not sure how to get in touch with their team. Is there an email id for support that I can contact?
- Hello! Thanks for the quick response! It looks like money was refunded last night, I'm glad. I think I'll cancel the mandate and stick to the credit card for upgrades for now.
Regarding the steps-
I received an email about my account having been downgraded to basic because of a failed payment. I clicked on the upgrade CTA from that email and was taken directly to the upgrade options page -> then the payment page. I could see my default profile picture on the top right, so assumed I must've been logged in on the browser.
Went ahead and set up a mandate using UPI for a monthly subscription. Approved the mandate, first payment went through, all went well. Except I guess the subscription was not actually associated with my email somehow. So no upgrade visible.
As I've mentioned above though, I got a refund of the amount already, thank you for that.
Note: my credit card subscription began failing every few months after the central bank here (India) introduced a bunch of merchant rules regarding recurring payments. So if the UPI payment method works properly eventually, I'd like to use that for the subscription.
- Hi all, hope all is well, I have subscribed to both plus and professional and my profile haven’t been upgraded yet, any suggestions please
- Hi Hannah, thanks for your prompt response, I did it though the app, I actually did it with another email and the same thing happened, I ended up paying for more than 3 subscriptions without getting upgraded!
- Hi,
I have subscribed to the Dropbox application on PlayStore for several months, but 1 month ago I forgot to pay for the subscription (subscription stopped for 1 month), then I paid for it this month. The payment was successful, I checked via email and it was confirmed that the payment was successful, I checked on the playstore subscription and the dropbox application is already active, but in playstore "Budget & Order History" there is still no history of my dropbox payments, and most importantly my Dropbox is still not upgraded be plus.
What do I have to do? I've been waiting 9 days but my dropbox app is still not upgraded- Nancy

Hey mnabilnuryassin!
Did you also check your bank statement and the transaction seems to be complete there? Is it still in a pending state perhaps?
Do you have another Play Store account, by any chance, from which you upgraded your Dropbox account?
The financial application that I use is Gopay from Gojek, previously I topped up my Gopay balance first and then used it as a dropbox payment method, the Gopay transaction history was successful, and I checked Playstore -> "Payments and subscriptions" -> "Subscriptions" and there my dropbox was active and the next payment was February 1, 2023. However, on Playstore -> "Payments and subscriptions" -> "Budget and History" the dropbox payment history was not written (so I couldn't ask for a refund). I have another playstore account but I've made sure I'm not mistaken. Until now my dropbox status is still Basic.
