Chatbot didn't offer all available plans
Last week when my previous DropBox plan expired, I worked with a chatbot to explore my options for renewal. The lowest plan Dropbox would offer me was their "Plus" package (2TB at $9.99 a month). I e...
Thank you for this insight, Rich. Although it doesn't increase my trust, to realize Dropbox only gives me customer service through an insufficient chatbot. This actually decreases my trust even further.

Once a paying user you get access to paid support options such as Chat and ticketing system.
It is only reasonable and fair that those are prioritised for people paying for them.
- Fair enough. But this still doesn't address the incorrect information I was given about available packages. Information was withheld, in an apparent attempt to over sell me. I was very clear about what I wanted. And was given incorrect information about available package options. This has still not been addressed.

The chat bot can only supply information regarding the regularly available packages; the same ones listed on the website. It has no information on any experiments or special offers that Dropbox may, on occasion, make available. It also has no insight into your account to see what you are or aren't eligible for. It's just a bot for frequently asked questions.
- I am an IT professional with graduate degree in AI (specifically machine learning, natural language processing, neural networks, radial basis functions, etc). I know the chatbot world in and out. Chatbots can easily access this kind of information, IF the business entity allows it. THAT is the bigger issue here, trust in the BUSINESS ENTITY that is showing me inadequacies on many levels now, including misleading information and inadequate utilization of its chatbots.
