How can I restore my original Dropbox?

As long as you were removed within the last week it is recoverable, after that, its not I'm afraid 😞
Hi Mark, thanks for your answer. Pretty bad when they want you to spend all this money to subscribe but they don't have anyone you can actually contact when you have problems! I will contact the admin of the team, but to the best of my knowledge. The dropbox that the business had may not, or does not exist any more. I guess I will find out! One thing is for sure I won't be sticking with Dropbox after this I will probably stop using an online drive altogether and stick to off-line storage. Thanks for your help. I will hope and pray I can recover everything! Cheers

- No worries, thanks anyway I think I probably lost everything then! The only other option is, if by chance I still have a local copy of the old dropbox, because I turned off, automatic update, so the old dropbox should still be on at least one of the computers in this house! Thanks for your help

If the Dropbox client is still installed and the account was set to remote wipe, the first thing the Dropbox client would do is delete all the files from the local folder.
- Absolutely, I will 100% make sure the Internet is turned off when I turn on the computer I think it's backed up on. Thanks everybody for your help. All the best with a Dropbox in the future. I'm going to stick to off-line storage I think!! Lol
