Dropbox Plus FAQ

What happens to files above 2 GB after I cancel?

Files stay in your account for 30 days. Then if you're still over 2 GB, Dropbox stops syncing and pushes the read-only state until you delete files or re-upgrade.

How do I download everything from Dropbox?

On dropbox.com → Settings → General → Download a copy of your account. Or use the desktop app to sync everything locally before cancelling.

Will my shared folders break?

Shared folders stay readable but you lose edit access on any synced from your account if you're over quota.

How do I contact customer support?
