    Hey Itzjinie, thanks for bringing this to our attention.

     

    Can I reach out to you via email, so we can look into this internally?

     

    Let me know.

      I'm having the same issue, I took the 30 day free trial then it would turn into the 11.99 a month which is fine, but it took my money and the dropbox app says there's an error and didn't upgrade at all.

    I have exactly the same problem - I’ve tired a few times in the past - it takes my money and just tried again “unknown error occured” and can’t contact anyone because I’m basic - even though I’ve paid now and once before for the upgrade ! How to I get my upgrade or my money back ??????

      Hi there dannyreevell, sorry to hear about this.

       

      May I ask if you've received an email with your purchase's receipt? 

       

      Also, can you please clarify if you upgraded your account through the website directly or if it was via the app store on a mobile device?

       

      Do you happen to have another Dropbox account perhaps, associated with another email address of yours? 

       

      Let me know what you find and we'll take it from there, Danny.

        Sorry to hear about this, dannyreevell.

         

        Can you open the Dropbox app, tap on 'account', then on the gear icon and then on 'restore purchases', to see if that helps?

    Please can someone help. It appears I’ve been charged after trying to upgrade my plan due to storage.

    Apple took my money 9.99, and app error and now it’s still a basic account?? - it didn’t work I cannot contact support (basic) the irony.

    I want to upgrade - the same happened in the past also, I need help from support but basic offered no support. Why do I get charged and the upgrade doesn’t work ? Contact support limited to upgraded accounts?

      Hi egekrloglu , let's see what we can find on this together!

       

      When you visit your plan page right here, what is the subscription you see? I'm asking in case the account has already been upgraded. 

       

      Can you clarify if you're trying to purchase the Professional plan through an in-app subscription from your mobile or directly using our website? 

       

      Let me know more!
