How to Cancel Dropbox Subscription
For a Dropbox subscription bought on dropbox.com, sign in to the paying account and use Manage account to cancel or change the plan. A subscription bought on an iPhone, iPad, or Android device must be canceled through Apple or Google Play; Dropbox says the account normally downgrades to Basic at the end of the billing cycle.
