I can't leave a Family plan, as I keep being asked for the owner's permission.
Hi,
I'm currently on my ex's family plan. I want to leave and start my own plan, but when I've tried to change plan, DropBox says I don't have permission to do this, perhaps because I'm not the...
Thank you Nancy for this. I think I probably could leave that way, but my concern is then not having an account for a while - I had wanted to change plan, from the family plan to my own, but that's where I'm having troubles, as it's saying I don't have permission to do this. If I do leave the family plan, will I then be given the option to start my own without losing any of my files? Thank you.

Dropbox StaffHey Johanna! If you leave the Family plan, your Dropbox account will be converted to a free Basic one and you’ll retain all of your files and folders in your individual account, plus any content that was shared with you previously. The only thing that’ll happen is that you’ll lose access to the Family Room folder.
You can also re-upgrade your Dropbox account after that point, if you wish to.
Did you follow the steps I linked above and you still see this error message?
