Easy to cancel

Cancel or downgrade Dropbox - step by step

1
Go to dropbox.com and sign in
Sign in to your Dropbox account.
2
Profile icon → Settings → Plan → Downgrade to Basic
Downgrade to Basic (2GB free) keeps your account and files while stopping billing. This is usually better than full cancellation.

Check your storage before downgrading

Dropbox Basic has a 2GB storage limit. If you have more stored, download or move files first - you won't be able to add new files once over the limit.

Frequently asked questions

What happens to my files after downgrading?: Files are not deleted. Above the 2GB limit they become read-only - you can download but not add new files.
Can I get a refund for a recent renewal?: Dropbox doesn't typically offer prorated refunds. Contact support within a few days of an accidental renewal - they sometimes make exceptions.
