Rich,
This is concerning. I see another person has this problem. Why did my previous two helpers not know this? Why would Dropbox do this without a warning? I was taking care of my terminally ill husband at home for two years. Computers sit, comparatively unimportant. Dropbox deleted thousands of dollars of irreplaceable files and recordings. 🤦🏻:female_sign:
My login info was intact. I saw all my files, just couldn’t open or download two I tried. Then, all of them (over 3-4 years, perhaps 50 files/recordings) disappeared before my eyes, without action on my part. Thank you for your response to blings.

It's fsutrating and something need to be done, An important document I need to access is completely vanish. without any notification of them wipping out my file is ridiculous. Crazy part about this, there is no live agent capabilty to talk to on what is going on and how this could be retrieved.

If the account has been removed I'm afraid it cannot be retrieved. Once an account is marked as inactive its permanently removed.
