I want to cancel my subscription and get my money back.

So my Dropbox Professional subscription trial, started on 10/2/2022 and ended on 13/3/2022. Afterwards, I was billed AU$306.90 on 13/3/2022 for a subscription renewal which should last from 13/3/2022 to 13/3/2023. That I am sure that I am well noted and was willing to pay for this one year subsciption. However, I quickly decided I not need that much space and applied for cancellation, which I swear should have happened, but somehow didn't. Now, I am being charged another AU$306.90 on 13/3/2023 without me acknowledging it. Please, if someone knows what to do to get my refund back and downgrade my account back to the free plan, that would be absolutely amazing. I just want my money back.

      Thanks Mark, I'll check the urls you sent. Dropbox sent me one single email informing I'm getting charged on the 13th of Feburary and that's it, it got drowned in the other "we noticed a login" emails. I was not sent a receipt or notification that the transaction has been made, too.

        Dropbox doesnt, and never has, sent receipt emails (that one is quite a common complaint)

      If you cancel now you wouldn't be refunded. What you would be cancelling is the automatic renewal at your next billing cycle (next year, most likely). You'd retain your account benefits until then, at which point your account would downgrade back to Basic.

       

      You can try contacting Support, but in most cases, payments for Dropbox subscriptions aren’t refundable.

    checking Dropbox's support page is a good start. It's worth noting that Dropbox doesn't send receipt emails. However, reviewing your account details and reaching out to support can provide clarity. Elsande3241, contacting Dropbox Support may offer options for your situation.
