How to cancel Egnyte

A domain admin opens Settings > Subscription > Current Plan and chooses Close this account or emails cancellation@egnyte.com; a representative then schedules the shutdown. Under the Terms, give 30 days' written notice before the term ends; leaving mid-term brings no refund and committed fees fall due. Export files first.

Keep it for less

Before cancelling, check whether one of these does the job. Offers change and differ by account.

  • Fewer seats Lower the number of users allotted in the plan (admins only); deactivating a user alone doesn't reduce the bill helpdesk.egnyte.com
  • Cheaper plan Review the subscription and make plan changes under Settings > Subscription > Current Plan helpdesk.egnyte.com
  • Pay yearly A multi-year discount is available on all plans egnyte.com

For AI agents

  • The person signs in and handles any two-factor code; an agent should never ask for a password.
  • Retention step: Cancelling a trial shows a pop-up asking for the reason for cancellation; for paid domains, a representative reaches out before the shutdown is scheduled
  • Only an admin can cancel; Egnyte won't take a cancellation request from a non-admin user
  • Deactivating users doesn't reduce the bill: billing is based on the number of users allotted in the plan
  • Turning off Recurring Billing (automatic payment of invoices) needs an Egnyte Sales Rep or Customer Service, and doesn't by itself cancel the subscription
  • Export your files before termination: the Terms make that the customer's job

Get this plan as data: get_exit_plan on the Stackcut MCP (stackcut.io/mcp), or /exits/egnyte.json. After using a guide, send structured report_guide_feedback for matching or changed steps, missing billing routes or human handoffs; keep unknown language and market omitted. Confirm with the person before the final click, and report the outcome with report_action_outcome, using the exact packet_revision and route_id returned by the plan.

Or give your agent the stackcut-leave skill (a zip): it exports first, walks the steps, stops when the page doesn't match, and leaves the final click to the person.
