How to cancel or change an individual Dropbox subscription

What to know about changing or canceling your plan

When you cancel a paid Dropbox plan, the change may not be immediately reflected on your Dropbox account. Your account will change to Dropbox Basic at the end of your current billing cycle (monthly or yearly) and you won’t be charged again. 

When you change to a Basic account, you won’t lose access to any of your files and folders stored in Dropbox. However, you’ll be limited to 2 GB of storage space. If you exceed the storage quota of your Basic account, Dropbox will stop syncing files to your devices.

How to check that your change or cancellation has been processed

If you cancel or change your plan on dropbox.com, you’ll receive an email confirmation with the subject line "Dropbox Plan will not renew" from no-reply@dropbox.com.

If you cancel or change your plan through your mobile app store, you may receive an email from that provider. If you don’t receive an email from them, we recommend contacting their support team.

To confirm your plan change or cancellation on dropbox.com, go to the Billing tab in your account settings and click Change next to Billing period. You should see a notification titled "Plan downgrade scheduled."

Solve issues with changing or canceling your plan

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.

☑ Check your billing dates

You can view your past and future billing dates on the billing page of your account settings at dropbox.com/account/billing. Your next billing date is shown under Upcoming invoice on the right side of the Billing page.

☑ Find your Dropbox account email

If you have a Dropbox charge on your billing statement, but you don’t remember which email account you signed up with, you can look the charge up using this transaction ID tool.

Learn more about looking up Dropbox credit card charges.

☑ Check your current Dropbox plan

If you’re not sure what type of account you have right now, sign log in to Dropbox and go to https://www.dropbox.com/account/plan.

Refunds and support

If you have an issue with your account or think there’s been a billing error, please check your support options for more help.
