The answer

Dropbox's own pages say you can cancel online and by mail.

After you cancel, per the provider: Your account changes to Dropbox Basic at the end of your current billing cycle and you won't be charged again. Billed through Apple, Google or another company? Per the provider: If you bought on a mobile device, cancel through that device's app store.

Not stated in the pages we read: a cancellation fee, a pause or downgrade option. See the ledger.

A tick means the provider’s page describes that way. A dash means the pages we read do not say, which is not the same as “not possible”.
