I want to upgrade, but it is not possible! I tried everything... After I filled in all the details, it says I should change teh error and try again, but there is no error (in red) at all.

Dropbox is not helping at all, I am really frustrated and angry! Especially that there is no technical support, just a marketing person at the chat - so they can sell their products but can not help if there are issues.

PLEASE HELP!

 

Thank you!

    Hi Philip Ostheimer, thanks for bringing this to our attention.

     

    Could you try switching browsers when upgrading to see if this helps?

     

    Otherwise, you can try using incognito/private browsing mode without any extensions running, clearing your cache and even resetting your browser entirely.

     

    Let me know how it goes!

      Hi Jay,

       

      thanks for your answer adn help, but it doesn't work!

      I use firefox and tried safari and chrome. Even incognito it always say: please change the error in the field and try again.

      Why can't dropbox upgrade for me??? It is so frustrating that there is no answer from dropbox, no help nothing.... I do need it for work, I really do.

      Is there any human person at that company who takes care of people who wnats to pay money to them, but they are not able becausse of a technical problem at their end? I don't get it....

      Thanks Jay!

      Best, Philip

        It does sound like there might be an error somewhere on your billing details. 

         

        Could you attach a screenshot showing what you're seeing, while hiding all your details, in order to assist further?
