Switching from mobile subscription to website

Hello, I can’t find any info on if it’s possible to cancel my mobile subscription (Apple) & switch to a website subscription without deleting my Dropbox Plus account. I just want to pay Dropbox directly & remove Apple from the process. Thank you.

    No. Syncing will stop until you resubscribe (because you'll be over quota), but your files will not be deleted and you won't have to reupload anything.

    You need to cancel your current subscription through Apple and allow your account to downgrade. Once it's downgraded, you can resubscribe through the Dropbox website.
