Cancelling or downgrading a Dropbox subscription

Once you have made payment for an individual Dropbox subscription, you can also cancel the same at any time you wish to. Once you wish to cancel, your subscription will be automatically downgraded to a free Dropbox Basic plan at the end of your current billing cycle.

Note: Downgrading your Dropbox plan to Basic and deleting your Dropbox account are two separate things.

What to know about Dropbox downgrading account?

When you cancel a paid Dropbox plan, the change may not be immediately reflected on your Dropbox account. You’ll be downgraded to Basic at the end of your current billing cycle (monthly or yearly) and you won’t be charged again.

When you downgrade to a Basic account, you won’t lose access to any of your files and folders stored in Dropbox. However, you’ll be limited to 2 GB of storage space. If you exceed the storage quota of your Basic account, Dropbox will stop syncing files to your devices.

Solve issues with downgrading

What to know first

Deleting the Dropbox app from your computer or phone doesn’t cancel your Dropbox plan or delete your Dropbox account.

Letting the credit card, you were using to pay for Dropbox expire doesn’t cancel your Dropbox plan or necessarily stop you from getting charged. Your bank could have automatically transferred payments to your new card. We recommend contacting your bank.

Check your billing dates

You can view your past and future billing dates on the billing page of your account settings at dropbox.com/account/billing.

Find your Dropbox account email

If you have a Dropbox charge on your billing statement, but you don’t remember which email account you signed up with, you can look the charge up using this transaction ID tool.
