    Hi everyone,
     
    Here is some key info on cancelling accounts and refunds: 
     
    If you want to claim a valid refund, you need to contact support for assistance. This is the safest way to process your personal info (i.e. bank account details, invoices etc) instead on our public forum. 
     

     

    :dart: Tip: Visit the support page while you're NOT signed in to a Dropbox account and the Community Forum, and you'll see an option for Billing issues. 
     

     

     

     

     

     
    To cancel a paid Dropbox plan, you can follow these instructions. When cancelling, your account will change to Dropbox Basic at the end of your current billing cycle (monthly or yearly) and you should not be charged again. 
     
    Apple/Direct Debit 
    If you purchased your Dropbox subscription via the Apple App Store, you need to reach out to Apple directly to request a refund. Apple's refund policy covers purchases made in the last 90 days only. More info here. 
     
    If you paid for your Dropbox subscription by direct debit, you are able to request a chargeback through your bank, you can contact them to request a refund.
     
    If you did not create a Dropbox subscription and/or do not recognize the charge:
     
    • Check your billing information (if you have an account). Log in to dropbox.com > Click your avatar (profile picture or initials) in the top-right corner > Click Settings > Click Billing.

     

    • You can also use our Look up tool to check a credit or debit card purchase

     

    • Contact support if you don’t have an account and/or would like to report an unauthorised transaction. 
    Notes on refunds:
    • If you live in the EU, UK, or Turkey, you qualify for a refund should you cancel your Dropbox Plus, Family, Professional, or Essentials subscription within 14 days of the initial purchase. You can contact support to request it.
    • Refunds are often not offered for Dropbox subscriptions and team member licences.
    • You're able to cancel your Paid Account at any time. Refunds are only issued if required by law, so make sure to cancel before your current billing cycle ends if you wish. 
     
    Hope this helps!

GM Dropbox community,
I am very concerned on why the precedure, legalities of your business no follow through. I am consistently chasing up for the refund of $184.67 that has been deducted and cleared in my account. I received confirmation that I will get refunded for downgrade and cancelled my subscription. This is very stressful so please do the right thing. Its been 5 business days. Before you ask the fund was cleared on my account it is not pending anymore.
Could appreciate support.
Regards.
Cristina

    Hi GabCarvel, according to your bank statement, were you charged directly by Dropbox, or by iTunes or Google Play?

     

    Have you tried checking your invoice/receipt page by following these steps?

      Hello Jay,

       

      The thing is i have 0 subscriptions on my account, 0 receipt and 0 invoice. I have the free formula. But on my bank invoice it´s written Dropbox Sign/Hell.

       

      I really don´t understand where does that come from.

       

      I tried to see if i had maybe an other Dropbox account with an other email but didnt find any with a paid formula or with a subscription activated.

       

      I don´t know what should i do more...
