Dropbox Customer FAQ

To request a refund for your Plus membership, it's best to follow the specific procedures outlined in the billing section of your account settings. There, you can find options for billing issues and refunds. We recommend detailing your situation clearly to facilitate the process.

There could be several reasons why you're having trouble logging into your Dropbox account. It could be that you're entering your password or email address incorrectly. Ensure that your Caps Lock is off and that you enter your details as accuratelly as possible. If you've forgotten your password, you can go to the sign-in page and click on "Forgot your password?" to reset it. You may also have issues if your account was inactive for a long time as Dropbox might deactivate such accounts. Additionally, if there were multiple unsuccessful login attempts, your account might have been locked temporarily for security purposes. You should wait for a few hours and try again.

We're sorry to hear that you're experiencing this issue. However, we want to affirm that Dropbox doesn't make unauthorized charges. If you see unexpected charges from Dropbox, it may mean that someone else has gotten access to your account or has used your payment details. You should immediately investigate to ensure your bank account and Dropbox account are secure. Please verify your account's purchase history to check for any recent purchases that you did not authorize. We also strongly recommend changing your Dropbox password as well as any other accounts where you've used the same or similar passwords. If the charges continue, please contact your bank immediately to report the unauthorized charges.

If Dropbox isn't opening files in File Explorer, it could be because the Dropbox application is not properly synchronized with your computer. Try closing and reopening the Dropbox desktop application. If this doesn't work, you may need to uninstall and reinstall Dropbox. In case, the issue persists, it could be a result of the file type. Not all file types might open in File Explorer and you might need the corresponding program to open such files. Please remember to keep your Dropbox and your system's software up to date for smooth functioning.

If you notice that files are being deleted from your Dropbox account, it's possible that they're being deleted by someone who has access to the account or by an application that has permission to delete files. You can try recovering deleted files by visiting the Dropbox website, signing in, and then selecting 'Deleted Files' from the left-side menu. The files should be in the list, and you can restore them by clicking the 'Restore' button. However, if you believe your account has been compromised, we recommend changing your password immediately and reviewing your connected devices and apps in your security settings.
