Cancelling a Subscription

Hi,

 

Wondering how to cancel a subscription for the company I work for. I followed the instructions in the help center, but under our "plan" tab there is no option to cancel the subscription. There is also not anywhere that offers a way to contact support to fix this issue.

    Hi Lisa Feraco, and welcome aboard the Community. 

     

    If there’s no option to cancel the subscription, after logging in to the Dropbox account in question, there’s a chance that the account was initially upgraded via the App Store/Play Store instead. 

     

    Can you please check your bank statement and let me know if you see Google/Apple next to your company's Dropbox charges? 

     

    Keep me updated!

      What plan does it say you're on when you view your Plan page? Can you provide a screenshot? If so, be sure to mask any private information.

    WOW how frustrating. Not having a direct email or line to work through issues is a bit suspect. I understand labor costs but DANG!

     

    I want to cancel a subscription that I have had for over a year. I don't have access to the email I used to start the account nor the password. Therefore I keep running into hurdles. I have filled out a formed document on the billing page to no avail. I even attempted to use my other dropbox account to help gain access to the other. Not so much. Security is a good thing. I get it. But, need a little help here!

     

    Thanks

      Did you receive an email with a ticket number? If not, then your form likely wasn't submitted. If you did, reply here with the ticket number and a Dropboxer might be able to check on it.

       

      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.

        Rich, appreciate it. This time I did receive a conformation email. Solid advice. Thanks.

    Hi all. Sorry to add a new request to a perennial topic, but I've read through the Dropbox site and still can't figure it out. I can't get to a cancellation area on my phone or computer. My billing seems to be from a default debit transaction by Dropbox rather than a third party. Help!

      Hey Helpmecancel, thanks for reaching out to us.

       

      It sounds like you might be logged in to a different account than your paid one.

       

      You can use our lookup tool, to find out the email address of the paid account, so you can login and cancel the subscription.

       

      Let me know how it goes.

        Thank you for figuring that out. The account is registered to a work address of a former job. I no longer have access to that email account. How should I proceed?

      Hey holops, just to make sure I understand correctly, you upgraded your account through Google Play and you don't see an option to cancel the subscription after following these steps, is that right?
