53 TopicsDropbox Unlinked My Accounts Suddenly
Hi there! I've have a free dropbox personal account for 15 years, and at some point added a free Teams account. Several years ago I upgraded the Teams account to a Professional account. ----- Today I got this message, and all my Professional files were taken off my machines (they're still on dropbox of course) Business Dropbox Removed: Your business Dropbox account was removed from this computer because your accounts were unlinked. Your files have not been deleted. ------ I would love to be able to link my two accounts, and continue having two separate dropbox home folders on my machine. Basically, I am leaving the country tomorrow morning and will have extremely limited internet access. I just need it to work how it used to, but I accept that I may need an alternate setup based on whatever Dropbox has changed. When I am signed into my Personal (free) account, it says I have 3TB of space, and the same for the Professional account. Within the settings menu the Pro account is called Personal Account, but when I check the billing plan for the Pro account, it calls itDropbox Professional. Any solutions? Many Thanks! (too bad this is my only option for customer support 🙂Solved9.6KViews5likes27CommentsI don't want an upgrade to Dropbox Essentials
I got an email this morning saying "We’re providing you with a free upgrade from your Dropbox Professional plan to our new Dropbox Essentials." I don't want this. I don't want those extra features and I don't want to pay the additional amount per month. The email may say free, but provided no details on this so I'm well aware after a month it'll start charging the full amount. Even if it's not going to do that. I don't want it. How to I stop this? I'm happy with what I have.Solved6.1KViews4likes12CommentsGet support for your paid Dropbox account

I am a Dropbox Plus subscriber and want to upgrade to Dropbox Professional to take advantage of SmartSync. In the "Settings" section of my account on the Dropbox.com website, it says "Contact Support to change plan", I can't just click a button there to upgrade directly. So, I contact support. Support says that, because I have a legacy account of some kind, I can only upgrade by first "downgrading" from Plus to Basic, then "upgrading" to Plus again (!), then upgrading to Professional. I have 166 GB of files on Dropbox at the moment. I asked support if, by "downgrading" from Plus to Basic, which only has a 2GB allowance, whether I would then lose all my files. Support isn't responding. So, I'm asking here if anyone can help. Some observations: * Dropbox support is among the worst I have experienced. They don't respond and don't seem to be customer-focused. * Why should it be so hard for a customer to upgrade their account? Why am I required to jump through all these "downgrade / upgrade / upgrade again" hoops? To be honest, after years of using Dropbox with satisfaction, this experience is making me evaluate alternatives now.Solved7.3KViews2likes9CommentsI'm using a Professional plan. Do I have another option to upgrade, other than a Business one?
Hi folks, I'm using Dropbox Professional, with 3TB worth of space that I'm told is almost used up. Unless I'm mistaken, I don't have the option of simply adding another one or more terabytes of space to give me more room. It seems I have no alternative to jump up to a Business account, but I'm a team of just one person and don't want to add more users. Do I have to pay for three users on a Business account even if there's only one active user (me), or can I still fly solo but have all the extra storage such accounts provide>? ThanksSolved2.3KViews1like3CommentsChat Support is a paid service, but they only provide sales, not support
Dropbox advertises chat support as a paid service for Professional, Plus and Family Manager. This is an advertised service. https://help.dropbox.com/account-settings/customer-support-levels However, if you contact them (https://www.dropbox.com/support) and pursue any kind of basic syncing issue, their "Service" is to try to sell you more product. I have had a professional account for years. I contacted them twice with my problem (Despite having 3T of drive space for my dropbox files, my 1.9T of files won't sync to it). When I asked the first person to stop selling me things and address the problem, they ghosted me. The second person, when asked directly if they can provide anything other than sales "service", they directed me to the email service account. Which is a downgraded service, and not "Chat Support." This is false advertising by dropbox. They should adjust their page to reflect actual practice.1.4KViews1like9Comments
