Dropbox Professional vs Essentials plans
Hi! I'm getting confused about the Professional vs the Essentials plan. On the Dropbox site it says for either plan that it's more advanced than the other. That couldn't possibly be true? It seems both are priced at 199 USD per year. So which one is actually better and is one fully contained in the other? https://help.dropbox.com/plans/dropbox-professional https://help.dropbox.com/plans/dropbox-essentials Thanks in advance for your feedback. -T.
I upgraded to Professional via my Apple account, but my Dropbox account is still Plus.
Because I subscribe to dropbox via my apple account, I have to upgrade to professional there. I did that and paid a month ago, but my account in dropbox still shows I am only on plus plan. I have no way I can see to contact dropbox about this. I paid for a month and have no additional features -- one of which includes being able to contact them directly for support issues 😕
Family plan vs Professional plan
I can’t find the differences between the family vs professional plan. I currently have the professional plan but want my wife to be able to upload her pictures to her own “Camera Backup_wife” folder and I believe that is not doable unless I’m mistaken? I read that a family plan would allow her to do this but I can’t find a comparison of the plans and so I’m wondering if I would loss features switching from Professional to Family? Will I still have large file transfers? And unlimited devices?Get support for your paid Dropbox account

Should I have a personal or Business account?
I own my business and use Dropbox Business. It's great and more secure than personal, which I have loads of data on. Is there any reason I should have both? I can't think of any. Seems like I should just migrate everything to DB Biz. Am I missing something?
Cannot redeem codes I purchased from Dell. Why?
I purchased 3 1-year subscriptions from Dell a few years back, but I am unable to redeem the codes on the code redemption page. I am unable to contact support directly as there is no way to do so as a free user. The error I get is "That license key has been invalidated. If you’re having trouble, please contact support." The redemption page I am trying to use is: https://www.dropbox.com/pro/redeem_keyTrial cancelled on time but still charged
I had a Dropbox Professional Trial subscription I cancelled it on 2/15/24 and have an email confirming this. The Trial email stated: "Just a heads up—your trial ends February 16, 2024." I was still charged for 1 month subscription of this TRIAL. I cannot find any place to contact billing since we have only a basic subscription. This is totally dishonest marketing. Have others had this happen? BEWARE AND BE WARNED!!!Subscribe Professional Plan (annual) on iOS
Hello, how can I subscribe to the Professional Plan on the Dropbox app for iPhone? I can't find any option. There are only these three choices: Plus, Essentials, and Family. Additionally, it seems that I can only select monthly billing, not annual. Do I need to first use the free 1-month trial subscription and wait until I can pay annually? I would like to do it through the iOS app as I use iTunes credit for payment. Thank you for your help!
