Precautions – Before You Delete Dropbox Account<\/h2>\n

Please ensure you understand that once you delete your Dropbox account, there\u2019s no going back. So, before you do, here are some precautionary measures and tips to look into:\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Cancel Paid Subscriptions<\/h3>\n

Just in case you have a Dropbox Plus, Family, or Professional plan account, cancel it before you delete your account. This is to avoid being charged even after account deletion. Sign in to <\/span>dropbox.com<\/span><\/a>, click on your picture, select \u201cSettings\u201d > \u201cPlan\u201d > \u201cCancel plan.\u201d After this, your account should downgrade to the regular Basic tier, which is free of charge. This way, you won\u2019t be billed.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n
