Thank you for this information.
I have used Dropbox for one year for free (100GB) as a promo after buying a laptop where I live in Turkey.
It's time for me to upgrade and Dropbox offers me a monthly subscription for "Plus" of 80.99 TRY per month, with a 30 day trial .... that's about 3 USD per month, when paying via Google Play. That is the same price as I pay for Adobe Acrobat so I guess it is the market rate.
However, when I try to upgrade (via Google Play) it says "payment failed" and hints that it is due to my country settings (which are set to Turkey in Google ... and I am physically in Turkey ... and using a Turkish IP address)
.... so I have tried to pay via my laptop and at that point the payment jumps up to 9.99 USD per month plus VAT which is more than 350 TRY per month - more than 4 times the price - unaffordable for my usage (to store files only). Google Drive and Microsoft One are 2 USD per month (58 TRY) per month.
I prefer to stick with Dropbox but need to ask, please can you advise how I can renew at the Turkish currency rate and not the rate for westerners? Thank you.
