I am a college instructor and recommended Dropbox to many of my students. As a result I had 18 G of storage. Unfortunately I also had two accounts,one for School and then a testing account. Both accounts had my school email. When I signed, I signed into the wrongd account, changed password and when I signed in with the new password I had only 2 GB of storage and lost a lot of data. Any way of restoring the data?
