Did you give Dropbox your card information? If you added it here (or an App Store etc.) then the charge is genuine and you've almost certainly not cancelled a free trial. If you did not then somebody has cloned your card and so you need to speak to your card provider. 

 

To contact support go to www.dropbox.com/support WHILE NOT LOGGED IN - even to here. So try an incognito window. This may also help you find the upgraded account: https://help.dropbox.com/billing/find-credit-card-charge

I did not give my card information to Dropbox or consent to an upgrade, I just did a basic free plan and got money deducted now from my account
I want a refund as I did not consent to upgrade or have money taken from my card for any subscriptions

So if you had a free trial then you have consented to the upgrade. Dropbox very very clearly tells you that you will be charged after said trial. It also emails you confirmation of this.

Then you need to speak to your bank and card provider, not Dropbox, because somebody has cloned your card.
