    Upgrades to plans are just an increase in quota and additional features - nothing at all changes in terms of your files/folders.

Currently I have dropbox professional. I've retired and could downgrade to dropbox plus, but I would rather change to the family plan. It looks as if I cannot move from professional to family without downgrading first to plus. However, even if I do that, I cannot change until my billing date in November. Is it really impossible to change straightaway? This is very frustrating. I realise that family is cheaper than professional but I don't mind losing the difference. Please can anyone help me achieve a switch immediately?

    Hi Matteo76, thanks for posting here! 

     

    When you say you're in the same boat, do you mean in regards to what DrStuart posted? Feel free to elaborate a bit more on that.

     

    Some info such as the plan you're currently using, and how you wish to proceed, are more than welcome.

     

    Keep me posted!
