How can I cancel and get a refund?
Please help! I was charged just shy of $200 on a DropBox acct that I did not know was there. Please help me cancel and get the refund
Tip: Visit the support page
Could the Linux users have a refund, please? I know Dropbox's other services provide a lot of value, but I do not use them. I only use(d) Dropbox to sync between my Linux desktop and laptop. I completely understand if Linux users are not a Dropbox priority, but I would like a refund if I cannot use the service I bought.

Hey Richard H.44, sorry for any inconvenience this might have caused.
You can definitely contact our support team about any billing related requests here.
Can I get a refund? I subscribed to a yearly professional dropbox subscription by accident after a free 30 day trial that I forgot to cancel. I recently found this out and want to know if I can please get a refund.

You can try contacting Support, but typically Dropbox does not provide refunds.
Oh My! I am getting nowhere in the process of trying to cancel my subscription purchased just 5 days ago on March 25, 2023. Have looked through your sight for an hour.
I wish to cancel and receive a pro-rated refund as I paid $119 for the year. Please contact me direction with clear instructions on how I can cancel and request a refund. Thank you.

Hi joyanisa74
You need to follow https://help.dropbox.com/accounts-billing/payments-billing/refund - note that refunds are only given where legally required.
If you did not give Dropbox your card details then you need to be contacting your card issuer and reporting fraud.
it's just a joke not to inform a direct contact to solve the problems. should stop selling in Brazil. I canceled a subscription and I can't receive it. Absurd.
Ticket #16967100: Dropbox Support Chat- Nancy
Thanks for posting on our forum today, Jorge Pires .
I was able to locate your ticket in our system, and from what our agent mentioned, they’ve processed a refund for your Dropbox subscription.
If you haven’t done so already, can you please get in touch with your bank? There’s a chance that your refund may still be in pending state, so they’ll be able to check this for you and make sure you receive your refunded money.
Let me know if you need help after that, though.

I would like to know if I cancel my subscription will I get reimbursed for the time I have paid for? I am asking because I paid for a 1 year renewal in July and have only used about 2 moths of the subscription. Can I get reimbursed for the unused 10 months?

When you cancel a subscription, all you're cancelling is the automatic renewal. You'll retain your account benefits until your next billing cycle at which time your subscription will end and your account will be downgraded back to Basic. There are no refunds.

Hi,
I can see there are multiple cases of this on the discussion board already but I am confused as when I try to Submit my ticket of complaint it just gives me an 'error' message.
I too was charged £199 for a full year's subscription even though I cancelled successfully on the 30th day. I didn't receive any prior notice about renewal and had notification for the cancellation myself in my phone so don't agree this should have gone through on my paypal.
A little bit frustrated as I understand the rules but feel I complied.
Kind regards,
Niall

You need to log a ticket with support to ask for assistance. As it is an account issue nobody is able to assist on the forums.
- Thanks Mark
Am I right in thinking this service only exists Monday to Friday and not today, Sunday?

If you cancelled on the last day, then the transaction was likely already sent for processing. With many subscriptions and trials (not just Dropbox), you typically need to cancel by at least 24 hours prior to the end of the trial or subscription to avoid renewal.
It's a pity they don't send you any notice or outline this in t&cs. It probably is my mistake but not one I can afford.
Hi,
we just realised we have been charged for dropbox for several month now and do not remember signing up for it. We tried figuring out which account is linked to the charge but the look up account doesnt' work. How do I figure out which account is connected to the charge so that I can canel it.
Thank you.

Dropbox cannot charge you if they don't have your billing information. If you've been charged and didn't give them your billing information, then someone else has and you should be contacting your bank.
When I do that it tells me to log in.
