How do I terminate an account in Dropbox

If you no longer wish to use UiO-Dropbox, your account should be terminated.

To close an account in UiO-Dropbox, you need to fill out this form:

Form for terminating UiO-Dropbox

You can choose from the following options when closing your account:

  • The Dropbox account along with all its content will be deleted.
  • The Dropbox account will be deleted, but the content will be transferred to another user with a UiO Dropbox account.
  • The Dropbox account with all content will be transferred to a private Dropbox basic account (with 2GB storage).

We recommend that you change both email address and password to suite a personal Dropbox after the account has been changed into a Basic account. You will still be able to log in with the same email and password as when the account was a part of UiO-Dropbox, but the password will no longer be updated when you change your UiO account password.

If there is more data stored in the account than what is allowed with a Basic account (2GB storage), you will not be able to store any new material until you have reduced the amount.
