A Step-By-Step Guide to Requesting Your Dropbox Refund Stress-Free

One of the favorite file hosting services among internet users is Dropbox. The platform is dedicated to providing cloud storage, personal cloud, client software, and many other file hosting and sharing features.

Crucial Things To Know About the Dropbox Refund Policy

Even though their services are widely popular and used, the Dropbox refund policy is actually horrible. All of the Dropbox premium memberships are non-refundable unless they determine that there’s been a mistake in billing.

If you choose to unsubscribe before the billing cycle is over, you will have access to the perks until the billing period ends, but you won’t be able to request a refund for the unused portion.

Only residents of the E.U. and Turkey are eligible for a refund if they cancel the membership in the first 14 days from the day they purchased it.

Did you subscribe to Dropbox through the Apple Store? You will have to request a chargeback directly from them.

Users who purchased Dropbox membership via direct debit payment will have to contact their bank for a refund because only the bank can process the request.

Issues To Look Out for When Requesting a Dropbox Refund

Once your bank contacts the Dropbox team about the refund, your account will be downgraded from a premium to a basic version. All Dropbox Business team members will be locked out of their account so keep that in mind before contacting your bank.
