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 🙂Solved9.6KViews5likes27CommentsCan't upgrade to Dropbox Professional
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 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.Solved6.1KViews4likes12CommentsFamily plan vs Professional plan
I can’t find the differences between the family vs professional plan. I currently have the professional plan but want my wife to be able to upload her pictures to her own “Camera Backup_wife” folder and I believe that is not doable unless I’m mistaken? I read that a family plan would allow her to do this but I can’t find a comparison of the plans and so I’m wondering if I would loss features switching from Professional to Family? Will I still have large file transfers? And unlimited devices?5.6KViews0likes3CommentsGet support for your paid Dropbox account

Greetings everyone, in the refunds page it is mentioned, that the citizens of EU, UK or Turkey are eligible for a refund if the subscription is cancelled within 14 days after the purchase. I tried out the Dropbox professional plan for one month with my MasterCard debit card details entered but I had forgot to cancel my plan and I was charged 199€for a service I won't probably use. I tried to submit a help request underBilling and payments > Cancellations and refunds but there was no choice for a debit card, only credit card/Google play/Apple app store payment options available. Has anyone had luck with refunding debit card payments in EU?Solved3.4KViews0likes9CommentsClarifications regarding Personal Use Plans vs Business Use Plans
Hi, I am trying to figure out a general outline of all the plans, and here are my finds. Personal Use plans : (payed as an individual) 1. Basic 2 Gb 1 user free 2. Plus 2 TB 1 user 3. Family 2 TB 6 users 4. Professional 3 TB 1 user 5. Essentials 3 TB 1 user Commercial Use plans: (payed as a company) 1. Essentials 3 TB 1 user 2. Business 9 TB 3 users+ 3. Business Plus 15 TB 3 users+ 4. Enterprise Custom Custom But I also found another group of Business plans: 1. Professional 3 TB 1 user 2. Standard 5 TB 3 users+ 3. Advanced 15 TB 3 users+ Questions: 1. I see Essentials as being both in the list of personal plans as well as in the group of company payed plans. Is it correct? 2. Is Professional plan a company payed plan or a personal payed plan? 3. Standard is the same thing as Business ? Advanced is the same as Business Plus? Or are they different? 4. The 3rd group of plans (Professional, Standard, Advanced) are all company payed plans? 5. Are there plans that can be both personal payed as well as company payed plans? 6. I also want to know if all business plans are company payed plans or there are exceptions (personal plans that can be company payed for, or business plans that can be personally payed for). 7. Do Work account mean is a business account? (see question 6 for exceptions) Thank You, Dan3KViews0likes6CommentsCan't cancel Professional trial
Hello, I have used a free Trial for the Professional subscription and the free trial is to expire in 7 days. I wanted to cancel it before it charged me because in the meantime I am "upgraded" to a Family plan by my coworker and now I can't find my free trial cancel option anywhere. Did it maybe dissapear because I am upgraded to the Family plan? Thanks! MarinaSolved2.5KViews0likes20CommentsGot an email for an upgrade to Essentials, but I don't have a Professional plan
I just got an email from Dropbox saying: "We’re providing you with a free upgrade from your Dropbox Professional plan to our new Dropbox Essentials plan at no extra cost." However, I do not have Professional. I did at some point, but not anymore for several months. So I'm just wondering is it some common bug and several people have recieved such messages by mistake - or is it just me? And will I end up getting a bill for a Pro plan I didn't want? 😕2.4KViews0likes14Comments
