Cancellation and fit

How to complete cancellation with Dropbox

Marking Cancel in Dehaze is an estimate, not a cancellation. Complete the change with whoever bills you.

  1. For an individual paid plan, open Manage account on Dropbox and follow Cancel plan through confirmation.
  2. For an app-store purchase, cancel through that store. Family plans, team plans, and trials have separate instructions in the official guide.
  3. Check the confirmation and scheduled downgrade in billing.

Back up important files first. Basic has a 2 GB limit; remaining over quota can restrict file operations and may lead to deletion of files.
