How to cancel your Dropbox team subscription
The information in this article applies to admins on Dropbox Standard, Business, Advanced, or Business Plus.
If you’re an admin and you’re currently subscribed to Dropbox Standard, Business, Advanced, or Business Plus, this article will tell you how to cancel your subscription and change to a Dropbox Basic account. If you’re a member of a Standard or Advanced team, contact your team's admin to cancel your subscription.
If you pay by manual invoice and want to cancel your Dropbox Standard, Business, Advanced, or Business Plus subscription, you’ll need to contact Dropbox Support or your account manager.
Note: Only certain types of admins can cancel a Dropbox Standard, Business, Advanced, or Business Plus subscription. If you’re currently on a trial, learn how to cancel your trial instead.
What to know about canceling
When you choose to cancel your subscription, the cancellation will go into effect at the end of your current billing period. You’ll still be able to use your account as normal until then. At the end of your billing period, you’re account will become a free Dropbox Basic account and you won’t be charged again.
When your account is changed to Basic, your team is placed in 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.

Solve issues with canceling
What to know first:
- Deleting the Dropbox app from your computer or phone doesn’t cancel your Dropbox plan or delete your Dropbox account.
- Letting the credit card you were using to pay for Dropbox expire doesn’t cancel your Dropbox plan or necessarily stop you from getting charged. Your bank could have automatically transferred payments to your new card. We recommend contacting your bank.
