You might see that the Dropbox Community team have been busy working on some major updates to the Community itself! So, here is some info on what’s changed, what’s staying the same and what you can expect from the Dropbox Community overall.
How can I cancel a ghost account that I keep getting billed for?
I have been going crazy trying to figure out why i am getting billed monthly for an account that I do not have. I initially thought I was paying for my husband's account but he told me I was not. I look at my account and it's a free one. I would like stop paying for an account that I do not own, and also get refunded for this. It's terribly frustrating working with Dropbox when there is nobody to talk to. Thank you. Karen
"cf.dropboxpayments.com refused to connect." - I can't upgrade my account.
I am trying to upgrade my account, but I'm getting an error when I choose credit card that states "cf.dropboxpayments.com refused to connect." Since I do not have a paid account yet, I cannot talk to a live customer service person. Any thoughts on how to make a payment? I do not have paypal.
How can we cancel someone else's recurring charge on our company credit card?
We have an employee with a DropBox subscription unrelated to the company. He has our company credit card linked so we’re incurring his subscription charge every month. We’ve asked him multiple times to get the company card removed, but he has not done it. Is there a way we can get this removed so we no longer incur these charges?I've been charged through PayPal for an unknown account; I need a refund.
I was billed through Paypal for the Essentials account at 119.88. I do not have an Essentials account. I only have the 2GB free account and barely use that. I have checked on all the email addresses I have ever used. I have no notices of coming billings at all. The phone number listed on Paypal is useless, tells you to go to your admin account and disconnects you. Ticket submitted at the address listed by Paypal responds that it is an unmonitored email and nothing will happen. That ticket # is Ticket #24583703: Paypal payment I found in this forum how to send a support request incognito and have done that. I have not received any kind of ticket number from that. I need this refunded and resolved ASAP.
My plan won't update from Basic to Plus
I tried to make an upgrade for my plan to Plus, the credit card app had an issue and now my account is stuck believing that I am on a Plus subscription, and I cannot do anything. It gives me errors when I try to change the plan, or upgrade, or anything. My plan however is not on Plus, it is still basic. No charges were made on my credit card. The upgrade to Plus option is greyed out. The other two, do not work, I get this error "Sorry, there was a problem loading this experience." This is a very frustrating issue, and the fact that no customer support is available, even for an issue where I am trying to make an actual purchase is infuriating. I would 100% give up on this app if I didn't have so many files and integrations with it already.
Unidentified credit card charge for an annual subscription
i have an annual credit card charge from Dropbox with a 12 digit transaction ID, however the transaction lookup tool does not work when i enter all details (correctly). because i have a free plan i cannot even contact dropbox about this....help pleaseWhy have there been changes to Dropbox Advanced / Business Plus subscriptions?
Dear Dropbox Team, I hope this message finds you well. I am writing as a long-term subscriber to the Dropbox Advanced / Business Plus plan, which my organization has used since 2017 primarily for file storage (completed projects, library, work hour records, etc.) and file sharing among 2–3 users working on active projects. Over the years, we have observed significant changes to the plan's conditions and pricing, which I would like to bring to your attention: Subscription History: • 2017–2021: €540/year, with unlimited storage included. • 2022: Updated to €648/year (+€108/year), still with unlimited storage. • 2023 onward: Maintained at €648/year, but unlimited storage was replaced by a fixed limit: 15 TB of paid storage (covering 3 licenses and all add-ons). An additional 11 TB valid only until October 31, 2028. Cost Analysis: If we compare these costs with external hard drive solutions: • An 8 TB Seagate Barracuda external drive currently costs less than €150. • 16 TB = 2 drives (€300), 24 TB = 3 drives (€450), 32 TB = 4 drives (€600). Over the years, our total Dropbox expenses are as follows: • 2017–2023: €4,644 (5 × €540 + 3 × €648). Equivalent to 240 TB in external storage (30 drives). • 2017–2028: Projected total€6,588 (5 × €540 + 6 × €648). Equivalent to 344 TB in external storage (43 drives). This raises the question: by 2028, after paying €6,588, we will only have access to 15 TB of permanent storage on the Business Plus plan, which is less competitive compared to other cloud / storage solutions. Policy Impact on Loyal Customers: We understand that some users have misused unlimited storage plans. However, the response to restrict storage capacity significantly impacts regular users who have adhered to fair usage practices. It feels unjust for loyal subscribers of 8+ years to bear the brunt of these policy changes. Request for Consideration: I kindly ask Dropbox to internally escalate this concern and reconsider its storage policy for Business Plus customers. Long-term subscribers deserve a fair and competitive offering that acknowledges their loyalty and business needs with the following adjustments: • Revise the storage limit by gradually increasing the storage for Business Plus subscribers according to their needs. • Evaluate individual cases to ensure that customers like us, who have used the service responsibly, are not unfairly penalized. I am confident that Dropbox values its long-term customers and will take steps to ensure we receive a fair and competitive offering that aligns with our ongoing needs. Thank you for your attention and support in resolving this matter. I look forward to hearing from your team. Best regards, Leandro Silva
