Offered Dropbox Basic Extra Plan $1.99 month but can't find plan

I was recently offered a $1.99/month plan for 100GB while I was logged into Dropbox. Unfortuantely, I was on a plane so wasn't able to sign up in time. When I logged in later the offer didn't appear. I tried chatting to a sales agent online and they said I should have received an email which I don't remember seeing and may have gone to my spam folder.  They weren't able to help and said I needed to log a ticket to get a specialist to look into this.

 

Unfortunately, as I am on a free account I don't have the option to log a ticket so what do I do?

    Hi syncer, thanks for posting here today! 

     

    Give me some time to check that with our Team, and see the info we have on our end and I'll get back to you the moment I have a response. 

     

    Thank you!

    I am very happy about that! Dropbox finally offers smaller plans.
    I just got offered a "Dropbox Basic Extra"-Plan for 1,99€/month for 50GB.
    ..., but it looks like it was 100GB half a year ago 😞

    In my opinion 100GB would suit the price better than 50GB, as it is more competitive with "the great G."
    (Who offer 100GB 1,99€/month and 200GB 2,99€/month as a small Service AND with discounts on yearly payments.)

      I also just got the Basic Extra plan for $2.49 CAD for 50GB. Totally agree: offer the 100GB for that and I'd go for it. Happy with my 100GB with Brand G, anyway.

      I don't care if it is 50, 100 or 200 GB but such a plan would suit my needs! can anyone tell me how to subscribe? I cannot find it, but I also had once a popup (unfortunately didn't screenshot it).

      Hi Walter and Megan 

      I've checked my email and found one offering signup to the plan - the email is from May. The link takes me to https://www.dropbox.com/buy/basic-extra 

      However the message I get is:
      You aren't eligible for this plan. Try another plan or contact support.
      What do I do now?

    I came here to look for a plan like this. Where can I find an offer for that, please? I don't need 2000 gigs of space, nor to be paying the same as for Netflix just to have lots of space I won't use...

        Hi, i have the same problem. I made a screenshot of the offer, so I could fill it in when I was at home. Now I can’t find it anymore.

    I too am getting offered the Basic Extra plan while logged into the website.  I tried to locate details of the plan but cant find any specifics.  Has anyone seen details - devices, storage, users, platforms etc.  I've been DBX for many years now. I tried to get details via Chat and when the "attendant" was about to provide details the chat session got disconnected, they had not heard of the plan.

      Hi mbkitmgr, I hope you're doing well! 

       

      I'd be happy to do some digging with you, but I'd rather use an email for that due to the nature of the account-specific issue. 

       

      Would it be okay for me to reach out via email? 

       

      Let me know!

    Hi,

    I have read this thread about not finding the offered Basic Extra Plan anymore and have the same problem.

    https://www.dropboxforum.com/t5/Plans-and-Subscriptions/Offered-Dropbox-Basic-Extra-Plan-1-99-month-but-can-t-find-plan/m-p/731738 

     

    Can anyone help me to get to this offer somehow again? I don't care if it is 50, 100 or 200 GB but a plan for ~24 Euro or dollar would suit my needs, especially when I am travelling and camera upload is active. 

    thanks

    J.K.
