I can’t select "UK" when upgrading from a trial; Dropbox says I can't switch to another currency.

I have a basic account - I’m in the UK. I have upgraded to 2TB as a trial to use the Backup feature. I’m trying to add my payment info so that my trial to subscription is smooth when the trial ends on 16th Jan, however I’m unable to select Uk in the country drop down list. Error reads “you can’t change to a country with a different currency.For help please contact support” all my cards are UK and trying PayPal doesn’t seem to change the outcome. How will I be able to pay for my subscription if I cannot select UK?

Update - this has now been resolved with support. Essentially they cancelled my trial plus subscription and I re-purchased the subscription/upgrade. All worked fine. It’s still unknown as to how I was limited in the first place from selecting the correct billing country, but a solution has been found!

Hi @12Louise, thanks for bringing this to our attention.

Did you upgrade to a trial from the Dropbox site directly, or via the mobile app?

According to this page, does it show a currency for the trial?

This will help me to assist further!

Hi Jay, I believe I upgraded to the trial from the

Desktop App. The page you've linked me to displays a 404 error.

Apologies, there was a typo in the link, it should be correct now. Do you mean you clicked a link in the desktop app, and it opened the Dropbox site to upgrade to a trial?

Hi Jay. The link works now and the currency showing in the trial invoice in the Billing tab is US dollars.

“Do you mean you clicked a link in the desktop app, and it opened the Dropbox site to upgrade to a trial?” Yes that’s correct.

Thanks for the info, as this is related to sensitive billing info, I’d recommend getting in contact with our support team directly to look into this matter in more detail.

If you can't access the support options from this page, you can try opening an incognito/private browsing window, while not signed into your account, and accessing this link, choose 'Other' and then put in an email address that you can access, followed by your billing info.
