Like many internet services, Dropbox offers a multi-tiered subscription model.

Many people use Dropbox for free, but you can also subscribe to one of the paid levels, such as Dropbox Plus or Dropbox Professional. After you cancel, you won't lose your Dropbox subscription immediately. You'll be able to take advantage of whichever Dropbox service you had through the end of the billing cycle, after which your account will revert to Dropbox Basic.

Your storage will revert to 2 GB, and the extra files will no longer sync with your devices. Your deleted files will be maintained by Dropbox for 30 days and restored if you change your mind and reactivate your subscription.

If you have a Dropbox subscription and want to cancel, here's how to do it.
