I’ve been experiencing ongoing issues with my Dropbox enterprise account, specifically with unclear guidance and conflicting information on my plan and storage needs. In 2023, I was paying $90/month for three users with unlimited storage, but I was later informed that this plan was no longer available. I was then advised to switch to a $2,000/year plan for seven users, which was an 85% increase from my previous rate. I reached out to my original sales rep, with whom I’d been in discussions, but was told he was no longer with the company. I was then connected with another representative who set up a call with me to discuss my situation.
During our conversation, this representative questioned why I had seven users on my account. I explained that I didn’t need seven users—I only needed two active users and primarily 60–70TB of storage space. However, I was previously told that I would need to pay for seven users to accommodate that storage requirement, and that $2,000 was the best available plan. To my surprise, she then informed me that my needs could actually be met for $900.
After I requested clarification and asked about compensation for the overcharges, she came back with an email stating that I would still need to maintain the seven-user minimum for my upcoming renewal, with no option for an adjustment or compensation. The inconsistency and lack of follow-up have left me frustrated and seeking direct assistance from senior management.
Questions:
- Has anyone else encountered similar issues with Dropbox enterprise plans, particularly with overcharges or being told they need more users than necessary?
- Does anyone know how to reach a higher-level sales representative, like a sales manager, director, or supervisor, to discuss unresolved issues?
- Are there any contacts, methods, or escalation strategies that have been effective for others when trying to get resolution from Dropbox?
Thank you for any advice or direction you can provide.
