Free trial canceled , but no confirmation and money deducted.

I upgraded to the free trial (30 days), canceled it just a few hours later. Correct via manage plan and "Cancel trial". This is three days ago. I still haven't received a cancellation confirmation email (yep, checked all filters). It clearly shows on my account that I now have DropBox Basic. But there is a €199.00 transaction going to Dropbox at my bank.
How do I ensure that no money is deducted for the free trial? Why am I not receiving a confirmation email?

    Thanks for posting on the Community, Lyopon!

     

    Is it possible that you have a second Dropbox account for which you were billed? 

     

    If you check your bank statement, do you see a 12-digit transaction ID linked to these charges? If yes, please insert this here to check if you have another Dropbox account.

     

    Let me know how this goes.

      Hi, I have the same problem. The e-mail support says the purchase was made via AppStore, but it definitely was not. And I did not receive any confimations what so ever. On my bank app, it says “authorization hold”, meaning the money hasn’t technically been deducted yet, why does it say that?

        Hi Martanilsson04, sorry to hear about this.


        Since you've already contacted our support team about this, could you share your ticket ID so that we can look it up in our system? 

         

        While we're at it, have you tried using our self served look up tool to identify the email address that's associated with the charge in question?

         

        If the charge for your upgrade is still in a pending state, you might need to contact your bank.
