Billing
929 TopicsI am on the basic plan. Do I have to pay a fee?
Hi, I just signed up for dropbox and was waiting for the prompt - Click Sign Up. On the Choose Your Dropbox Plan page, decide which plan you want. Also -ADropboxBasic account isfreeand includes 2 GB of space. You can downloadfreeapps to accessDropboxfrom your computer, phone, or tablet. I don't need more than 2GB. I see there are account fees. I did not give any info re accounts so am I now being charged and thru' where? Thx, Mark,Solved55KViews0likes3CommentsSupport for rogue billing charges
Hello, I have charges on my credit card from dropbox, but do not have an active account with a paid plan. Since I do not have a paid plan I cannot get support in any way. I tried using the "Billing Help Request" page, but my submission thus far has been ignored for over 2 weeks. If my credit card is being charged how can I get to talk with someone (phone, etc) to sort out this issue? There is no phone number for support, and no way to submit a ticket without a paid plan. This is most likely an old business email account that still is active, but I no longer have access to.Solved22KViews1like43CommentsHow do I change my billing currency/country?
I have just upgraded my wife's account to Pro in Australian $ and would like to change my billing currency to Australian $ as well (as I've now been here for 10+ years!). There seems no ability to change my base billing currency from USD (what it was when I first subscribed) to AUD so that my credit card doesn't continually get hit for international currency conversions and foreign currency commissions. Given that I just saw the Sydney Opera House as the front slide on the sample Parnsip.Inc presentation on your Dropbox for Business webinar, presumably you could address this internationalisation issue?! Again, as we are all so mobile now, the concept of moving countries should be in the Use Case scenarios... Or must I cancel/downgrade my Dropbox Pro subscription and then re-upgrade? I'm even happy to switch to Annual from Monthly (but it still wants to take the charges in USD 😞 !) Many thanks for your expected response...

I have gone through the VAT related questions on the forum. It seems, the Dropbox admin is not getting the question. Hence, I am sending a copy of my Dropbox Pro invoice (which does not show Dropbox VAT number nor VAT separately) to HMRC (Tax Department in the UK) as it is a legal obligation in the UK to give a VAT receipt showing VAT number of the seller and VAT rate as well as amount. This is necessary for a business in the UK (and for that matter anywhere in Europe) to claim back the VAT paid on the service. This is not applicable if Dropbox is not collection VAT but it is quite clear that they are charging VAT. Now if they are charging VAT, then they must remit VAT collected to the Office of Revenue Commissioners in Republic of Ireland and we as a user should be able to claim this VAT back if we are using the service for our business and we are VAT registered in any of the EU countries. So it really surprises me to see the reluctance of Dropbox to simply resolve this issue by adding VAT details on the invoice (and it is not that they don't have this facility in their invoicing system because they are already providing VAT invoice for Dropbox for Business subscription) I guess I will leave HMRC to deal with as they have gone quite strong now-a-days with issues like this.Solved11KViews5likes8Comments
