Notes on switching from App Store billing to Sourcenext's code version for Dropbox

Here are the actual steps for switching from the iOS (AppStore) trial version of Dropbox to the Sourcenext online code version.

If you buy the Sourcenext code version available on Rakuten Ichiba, you can use the paid version quite cheaply thanks to point rewards.

I purchased the 3-year version.

Purchasing from here would be a great encouragement!

There is also a 6-year version.

There is also a 9-year version... but around this point, the point reward cap is reached, and the value for money diminishes, so I will omit it here.

We also introduce the steps to "extend" your license using a Sourcenext license code here.

Unsubscribe from AppStore billing

First, we will unsubscribe from the AppStore subscription.

Tap "Account > Current Plan" in Dropbox.

Tap Cancel Plus plan.

Tap Cancel Plus.

Dropbox Cancel Plus

According to the description here, canceling Plus does not seem to immediately delete your data. (Please check the latest information just in case.)

The AppStore subscription will open, so tap Dropbox.

AppStore Subscription Dropbox

(I forgot to take a screenshot, but)
Please cancel the subscription.

It will look like this once canceled.

Dropbox Subscription canceled.

After this, I tried to apply for a Sourcenext license key to revert to the paid version, but I couldn't apply until the AppStore subscription expired.

So, let's wait until the AppStore subscription expires.

Sourcenext code version can be purchased in advance without any issues.

Apply for a license key after the expiration date

The AppStore subscription has expired.

Now, we will apply for the Sourcenext license key.

Use the "Sub Key" listed in the email from Sourcenext.
Please have it ready in advance.

Sourcenext Dropbox Sub Key License Key

The Sub Key format is xxxxx-xxxxx-xxxxx-xxxxx-xxxxx.

The purpose of the Main Key is unknown.

It displayed "Your Dropbox is full." The plan has also reverted to Basic.
Tap here to proceed with the license key application.

Your Dropbox is full

The browser launched.

Dropbox seems to be out of space

Tap "Upgrade" from the icon in the top right.

Dropbox Upgrade

Tap "Apply for license key".

Dropbox Apply for license key

Enter the Sub Key listed in the email, set the country to "Japan", and tap "Start using Dropbox Plus".

Dropbox Start using Dropbox Plus

It showed "License key applied".

Dropbox License key applied

The app has also reverted to the paid version.

Dropbox Plus

That concludes the notes on switching Dropbox from AppStore billing to the Sourcenext code version.

I had to let the paid version's subscription expire once, which made me a bit worried, so I decided to write this article.

I hope this helps someone.
