    Hey everyone.

     

    Even though this issue should be resolved, please try upgrading again through a different browser or a private browsing window.

     

    If the issue persists, please let us know.

One more here.

Was paying dropbox user for 12 years, Pro/Plus plans, always paid directly on the website, never via Google/Apple/anything. Couldn't renew subscription earlier this year due to card issues, got downgraded to basic.

Want to restore/upgrade to my proper plan now, but billing page just shows the history with no actual billing settings, trying to upgrade via the plan selector just kicks me out to the default settings page with "Your plan and billing information are managed externally" message.
