Hi everyone,

Here is some key info on cancelling accounts and refunds:

If you want to claim a valid refund, you need to contact support for assistance. This is the safest way to process your personal info (i.e. bank account details, invoices etc) instead on our public forum.

Go to https://www.dropbox.com/support/billing-issues to start the process.

Tip: Visit the support page while you're NOT signed in to a Dropbox account and the Community Forum, and you'll see an option for Billing issues.

To cancel a paid Dropbox plan, you can follow these instructions. When cancelling, your account will change to Dropbox Basic at the end of your current billing cycle (monthly or yearly) and you should not be charged again.

Apple/Direct Debit

If you purchased your Dropbox subscription via the Apple App Store, you need to reach out to Apple directly to request a refund. Apple's refund policy covers purchases made in the last 90 days only. More info here.

If you paid for your Dropbox subscription by direct debit, you are able to request a chargeback through your bank, you can contact them to request a refund.

If you did not create a Dropbox subscription and/or do not recognize the charge:

Check your billing information (if you have an account). Log in to dropbox.com > Click your avatar (profile picture or initials) in the top-right corner > Click Settings > Click Billing.

You can also use our Look up tool to check a credit or debit card purchase

Contact support if you don’t have an account and/or would like to report an unauthorised transaction.

Notes on refunds:

If you live in the EU, UK, or Turkey, you qualify for a refund should you cancel your Dropbox Plus, Family, Professional, or Essentials subscription within 14 days of the initial purchase. You can contact support to request it.
Refunds are often not offered for Dropbox subscriptions and team member licences.
You're able to cancel your Paid Account at any time. Refunds are only issued if required by law, so make sure to cancel before your current billing cycle ends if you wish.

Hope this helps!

Sam

If you don't cancel the trial before it ends, it converts into a paid subscription and you're automatically charged. It explains this when you're starting the trial.

You can try contacting Support but in most cases, Dropbox subscriptions aren't refundable.

https://help.dropbox.com/plans/refund

To contact Support, visit the Support page while you're NOT signed in to a Dropbox account, including these forums, and you'll see an option for Billing issues. It's best to use an Incognito or Private browsing session to make sure you're not signed in.

Have you tried to contact Dropbox Support directly for this?

Once you do, feel free to send me the ticket number reference, in order for me to locate it on my end.

Let me know more!

I am being charged monthly £19.99 from Dropbox but I have no associated account with this. There is no reference number on my statement that I can check this to. I can't speak to anyone either. Can anyone help?

Sorry to hear about this, @ST14.

Are you getting credit/debit card charges or through iTunes/Google Play?

I cancelled the free trial only to wake up 5 days before seeing that literary all of my money from my bank account have been sent to Dropbox without even asking me. I dont want the subscription I need my money back, but i cant find a way to talk with someone.

Refunds are only given where legally required. You will need to send in proof of cancellation.

You will need to contact Support at www.dropbox.com/support and ask for help.

Hello!

My Google account was recently hacked and I was unable to cancel my free trial in the given time. I was hoping to receive a refund and that this is eligible.

Mark

The only people who can help are at www.dropbox.com/support.

However, refunds are only issued where there is a legal requirement to do so.
