You might see that the Dropbox Community team have been busy working on some major updates to the Community itself! So, here is some info on what’s changed, what’s staying the same and what you can expect from the Dropbox Community overall.
Multiple Accounts
24 TopicsCan't access my old email, need to cancel subscription
Hi there, I have 2 dropbox accounts, currently signed into one of them. I am unable to sign into my other dropbox account as the email address is from a workplace I am no longer at, I no longer have access to it. I have forgotten the password to the account and can't reset it because I don't have access to the email. I need to cancel the premium Dropbox subscription on the account and delete the account. How can I do this without having access to the email address? I have an invoice from dropbox showing the Premium monthly charge as proof that it is my account.12KViews4likes96CommentsDropbox Unlinked My Accounts Suddenly
Hi there! I've have a free dropbox personal account for 15 years, and at some point added a free Teams account. Several years ago I upgraded the Teams account to a Professional account. ----- Today I got this message, and all my Professional files were taken off my machines (they're still on dropbox of course) Business Dropbox Removed: Your business Dropbox account was removed from this computer because your accounts were unlinked. Your files have not been deleted. ------ I would love to be able to link my two accounts, and continue having two separate dropbox home folders on my machine. Basically, I am leaving the country tomorrow morning and will have extremely limited internet access. I just need it to work how it used to, but I accept that I may need an alternate setup based on whatever Dropbox has changed. When I am signed into my Personal (free) account, it says I have 3TB of space, and the same for the Professional account. Within the settings menu the Pro account is called Personal Account, but when I check the billing plan for the Pro account, it calls itDropbox Professional. Any solutions? Many Thanks! (too bad this is my only option for customer support 🙂Solved9.6KViews5likes27CommentsLinking Personal and Business accounts - Account types?
I searched the help and forums, but couldn't quite find the answer to my question. My wife has a long-held Dropbox Plus personal account, which syncs to her laptop (via the Dropbox app with the standard Dropbox folder). She recently opened a Basic account for limited professional use, which has now grown and in need of an upgrade. Up until now, she's only accessed it through her browser. Ideally, this account can be synced to her laptop, along with the personal one, while keeping the two accounts clearly seperate. I've gotten as far as discovering that one can *link* a Personal and Business account, which seems to do exactly what we want, but I'm confused on which exact plans have the capability. Per this page, the Business account for individuals is the Professional. But this page confuses me about whether a Plus account can be linked with a Professional account, or if it has to be a Business Standard. This first screenshot's description makes it sound like the Professional account is not a Business account, when it is clearly listed under Business in the second screenshot... Help! Also, just to confuse matters, we already upgraded her professional account to a Plus account, but I think I can easily upgrade further if needed. Last, if anyone has experience with linking personal and business accounts -- is it pretty easy and foolproof? I believe I read there are actually two different Dropbox folders (presumably labeled appropriately) that otherwise behave like a normal personal one. That would be ideal. Too much fiddling with the app, or logging in and out, will only create confusion. We're on macOS, if that makes any difference. Thanks for any and all help!Solved8.3KViews1like27CommentsSeparating Personal and Business account
Hello, I'm connected to the business account as a team member and I have a personal account connected to it (just switched to Professional plan). I would like to separate the two. I'm not having any luck doing that by myself. So the ideal scenario would be to have my very own Professional Account regardless of the Business Account. Thank you, NemanjaSolved7.2KViews0likes9CommentsCan I connect two business Dropbox accounts?
I have my own "Personal" Paid Business Dropbox account that I have synced to all my devices. This is a Personal Dropbox account but I pay the annual fee for a Business account as I enjoy the additional features and storage space. I am currently doing some work for a client and need to have their company Business Dropbox account synced to my computer, I do not want to un-syncmy paid Business Dropbox account. I tried to use the "Connect My Personal Dropbox Account" feature, however, it tells me I can only connect if I have a personal Dropbox account. So, what I am assuming is because I have decided as a personal user to pay for a Business account, I am now not able to access a feature that I need to be able to work effectively with my client!? Surely there is a way I can connect to my PersonalDropbox account, despite it technically being a Business account? Pleasehelp!Solved7.1KViews0likes10CommentsLink personal account to multiple business accounts
Like the title says, I have multiple business accounts as I have two jobs, both of which use Dropbox Business. Fortunately, they both provide me with computers so that I have one business app on each computer. My question is - is it possible to "link my personal account" to both of them? I didn't try this as I don't want to potentially lose access to my files. Thanks.Solved5.4KViews0likes16CommentsCan't sign in to team account
Hi, I'm using a private dropbox account and received an invitation for the company I work with. When I want to add a team account I get the (error) message: "Sign in to a team account". The accounts are all basic plans. A colleague of mine has the same setting and it worked. Best4.1KViews0likes5CommentsDouble Charge on Bank Statement
I have one account. I use the app on my phone from the Apple store and sync my photos for editing on my laptop. I’ve just now noticed I have double charges on my statements. One from Dropbox today 06 Jan 2022 and one on the 03 Jan 2022 so only a few days apart. Why am I being charged twice? I’m just wishing someone can give my money back since I’ve been paying twice. For a few months now.4.1KViews0likes22CommentsAdd secondary email or change email on my account?
I want to add another email to my account but there is no option to add a secondary email. I read and followed instructions here https://help.dropbox.com/accounts-billing/settings-sign-in/secondary-emailbut I do not see the setting described. Is it possible only for paid accounts? Apparently I have Dropbox basic, in case that matters. I need to have another email associated with my account so should I change my account to the new email? I tried doing that but when I entered my new email I got a message saying that email already has an account. I don't know of any account I have using that email address. What other options are there?Solved3.7KViews0likes6CommentsWhere is the account I'm paying for?
Hi! I'm being charged 11.99 for months for the account I haven't been able to locate. Payment receipts come in through PayPal. When I log in to Dropbox with both emails that I use, Dropbox says I only have 2GB of storage - the free plan. So the question is how can I find and log in to the account I am paying for? If that is not possible, I also don't know how to cancel the payment? Any help will be much appreciated!Solved3.3KViews0likes12Comments
