I've lost access to my Dropbox account and email address and I can't cancel my plan.

I am trying to remove billing for a Dropbox account that I have lost access to both the account and the email address it is linked to. I am currently paying for a premium product that I no longer have access to and cannot contact Dropbox support for help.

 

Their 'chatbot' is one of the most useless I've encountered, they have a billing contact form - when you press submit it simply says 'There has been an error', and a phone system that just tells you to use the support screen in your account and immediately ends the call. These options simply DO NOT work for all scenarios, Dropbox!

 

I can't believe how poorly a company the size of Dropbox can manage customer support. Has anyone any experience of dealing with them? can you offer any advice so I might actually speak with someone, either through phone or email?! I'm at my witts end. I just want to remove billing details from the account.

    Ben46 and Rheaa, can you please clarify how your Dropbox accounts got upgraded? Was it via www.dropbox.com or iTunes/Google Play?

     

    Ben46, when saying you want to remove your billing details from Dropbox, you mean you wish to totally cancel the subscription, right?

     

    Rheaa, have you also lost access both to the Dropbox account in question and the email address linked to it?

     

    Let me know and we’ll take it from there.

      Yes, that's right - I would like to cancel the service. I upgraded the account through dropbox.com originally.

        Thanks for confirming, Ben46. In this case, please follow these exact steps to log a ticket with our support team. 

         

        When doing so, make sure you’re NOT logged in to ANY Dropbox account, so that your ticket ends up in the correct queue and our support team picks it up. You can send me your ticket number here afterwards. 

         

        Let me know if you face any trouble though.
