Consultation on handling unexpected downgrade from Dropbox Plus to Basic.

I had signed up for Dropbox Plus, but accidentally accepted an invitation as a team member of another organization. I then contacted the administrator of that organization to have them remove me as a member, but in doing so my account was downgraded to Dropbox Basic. I would like to contact the support center, but I am having trouble communicating with them individually. Can anyone please help me?

    Hi Megan 

    Thank you for the clarification. In that case, I will wait for the refund you mentioned.

    Best regards,
    guikazu

    Hey guikazu, let's jump right into this! 


    When you accept an invitation to join a Dropbox team, your personal plan is downgraded and you receive a pro-rated refund for the remaining time you have on your personal plan.

     

    Then you become a team member of the Team. Once they remove you from it, and downgrade you, the account returns to Basic. 

     

    You can always check out our plans here, and re-upgrade whenever you want. 

     

    Let me know of the results!

      Hi Megan and DBX_Pedro ,

      Thank you both for your responses and support.

      After reading Megan's comment, I went ahead and re-subscribed to Dropbox Plus. However, I originally had a 3-year plan, and I would like to return to that plan instead of the new one I just signed up for.

      Could you please assist me with reverting to my original 3-year Plus subscription?

      I appreciate your help and look forward to your guidance.

      Best regards,
      guikazu

        Hey guikazu, thanks for the update here.

         

        There are actually no 3-year plans available with Dropbox.

         

        I will, however, pass your feedback along to our team about this.

         

        If you have any more questions, just give us a shout.
