I found a $99 charge on my credit card for a one year subscription for Dropbox. Not sure how that happened but found out it is non-refundable.
I use the free version of dropbox, it works really well. I hear the paid versions are a complete scam though.
I have been using this service for well over five years. I was paying for an annual subscription until a few months ago. I was set to autorenew on July 1. My information on file was incorrect, so I went on line attempting to update my account and to switch to the monthly fee. I updated with my current information and discovered not only did Dropbox.com not change my account to a monthly charge but billed me for an annual charge of $99.00. Consequently I do not sufficient funds to (1) pay my rent which is due today, and more importantly, (2) I am unable to pay for my diabetes medication.
I spoke to a young man at customer service who directed me to their web site and down the rabbit hole trying to get help. The on line form was a total disaster. I tried for well into 6 hours trying to get to a point where someone with Dropbox.dom could address my concerns. I may as well have put my hand in the garbage disposal or severed a complete limb.
I recalled the same Customer Service telephone line and this time I got a man with a very heavy Indian accent, so thick I could not understand him at all, to which he responded clearly, "Is this a joke?" And hung up on me.
Subsequent efforts to reach the CS telephone number went into voice mail. I just obtained a new telehone number *******057. It is another rabbit hole.
DO NOT USE THIS SERVICE. PAY MORE BUT BE HAPPY WITH ONE THAT ACTUALLY PROVIDES A VALUED SERVICE AND SUPPORT FOR YOUR MONEY.

I signed up for the free service but was charged for three months of service. $225
For nothing! The sign up is very deceiving. Stay away!
Very famous, popular and reliable online file storage provider! Great for file backups and sharing safely!
Amazing service, Dropbox Paper is so simple and intuitive! Also sharing between devices is so smooth.
They charged my credit card unauthorized, I have sent email through their support system and requested refund, but there are no reply.
Answer: TRUE THEY SCAMMED ME TOO!
Answer: SCAMMERS!
Answer: I hope there is a class action suit and I will join it.
Answer: Dropbox customer support will soft talk you into thinking they are helping to put a stop to their fraudulent charges, but in the end they actually do nothing. I don't believe they have an in-house system to stop credit card charges. There are many crooked companies that do business this same way as well. How many people don't read their credit card statement in full every month? And the dropbox folks rake in the fraudulent charges people don't catch. Call them, and they say "we're sorry" it won't happen again. I went through that three times and finally had to re-issue my card with a new number. Shown is a canned text statement below sent to people with billing problems: >"I will need all of the following information for security reasons and to locate the charge to assist you:"< > Card type First six digits of the card Last four digits of the card Full name on the credit card charged Date of charge Amount charged Billing postal code< "Dear Dropbox, If I spent the same amount of time, it takes to cancel a CC looking at the thousands of negative online reviews before I bought Dropbox I would be well ahead of the game. I added my negative review of dropbox to the many already online after I changed the CC number on my Visa, of course. And no, I will not give you any more cc numbers or names. Dropbox has a worldwide reputation of continuous charges once they get your number. Did you think I just fell off the turnip truck? LOL Goodbye Forever,"
Answer: I was unsuccessful as well. I ended up disputing the charge with my credit card. It is still being investigated. My wife was successful in getting a refund on a new account that she never used, within 7 days of paying. She is the only one I know of that has done that successfully.
Dropbox has a rating of 1.9 stars from 198 reviews, indicating that most customers are generally dissatisfied with their purchases. Reviewers dissatisfied with Dropbox most frequently mention credit card, customer service and free trial. Dropbox ranks 109th among Online Storage sites.
