What is Dropbox Premium Support?

Dropbox Premium Support is available to Dropbox team accounts that have purchased the Premium Support Add-on. To purchase this add-on, contact your Dropbox sales executive or fill out the Dropbox sales team contact form.
 

Some teams without dedicated sales executives can purchase or remove the Premium Support: Essentials add-on in the admin console.


To do this:

1. Log in to dropbox.com with your admin credentials.
2. Click Admin console.
3. Click Billing.
   • Note: Only certain types of admins can access the Billing page.
4. Under Available add-ons, click Add or Remove next to Premium Support.
5. Click Confirm.

When you purchase the add-on, you'll be charged at a prorated amount for your current billing period. At the start of your next billing period, you'll be charged for the full amount of the add-on, in addition to your subscription cost.

When you remove the add-on, your selection will go into effect on your next renewal.

Premium Support Add-on features

The Premium Support Add-on enables all active members of a team to receive increased support entitlements. Two versions of this add-on—Premium Support: Essentials and Premium Support: Enhanced—are available for Dropbox team accounts. 

With either version of the add-on, team admins have access to:

• Support team assistance by phone, email, or chat, available 24/7.
• Quarterly emails which outline three unused/underused features for your team.
• One-hour implementation consultation session.
• Access to the Premium Support Hub.

To contact support, log in to your account and go to dropbox.com/support.
