If you signed up for a Dropbox Standard, Business, Advanced, Business Plus, or Enterprise trial, this article will tell you how to cancel your free trial before it ends so you don’t get charged.

If you don’t cancel your free trial before it ends, you’ll be charged for Dropbox Standard, Business, Advanced, Business Plus, or Enterprise with the billing information you used when you signed up for your free trial.

Terms of Dropbox Standard, Business, Advanced, Business Plus, and Enterprise free trial

When you signed up for your free trial, you received an email from Dropbox with the length and details of your trial. If you don’t see it in your inbox, check your spam folder.

If you cancel your free trial before it expires, you’ll return to the type of account you had before you signed up for the free trial.

Note: If your trial expires and converts to a paid subscription, but the renewal fails for any reason (e.g. no billing info, card couldn’t be charged, etc.), your team will be moved into a locked state, which allows the team to continue access to the team files, but removes most team syncing and sharing features. You can disband your team to remove all team access.

Check if a free trial is canceled

When you cancel your free trial, you'll receive a confirmation email from Dropbox. If you don’t see it in your inbox, check your spam folder.

If you were charged for Dropbox Standard, Business, Advanced, Business Plus, or Enterprise

If your free trial already ended and you started getting charged for Dropbox Standard, Business, Advanced, Business Plus, or Enterprise, you can put your team in locked state immediately by canceling your current subscription. Your Dropbox Standard, Business, Advanced, Business Plus, or Enterprise features will be canceled at the end of your current billing cycle. You won’t lose any of your files and you won’t get charged on your next billing date.
