A member's account seems to be suspended; how can they be added back?

Hi,

 

A member of our team can no longer log in to their Dropbox account, or access Paper. No reason is given on the error message, it just says to contact the administrator. Other members of the team are able to log in, but I can't see where we can manage users. What actions are required to get this user back on the account or at least understand why their account has been suspended? Not sure where to start.

TIA

    If their account was suspended, then, they'd need to get in contact with our support team directly to look into this matter in more detail.

     

    They can do this by opening an incognito/private browsing window, while not signed into any account, and accessing this link. 

     

    From there they should be able to contact support. Assuming they have access to their inbox, they would need to enter the same email they use to login to Dropbox.

    Hey achubb, thanks for posting to our Community.

     

    You are all members of a Dropbox Business team, right?

     

    Did the team admin look in the members tab in their admin console to see the state of this member?

     

    The admin can filter the members from the options on the right and, and if this particular member is suspended, they can un-suspend them.

     

    Let me know how it goes!

      Hi Hannah,

      Thanks for the reply. I don't think we are actually members of a Dropbox Business team currently. Although we may have had it at one point. Would that user only be seeing that message if we were?
      Are there any reasons why the user would be suspended otherwise do you know?

      Thanks,

      Andy

        Hi achubb, you can see if you're a member of a team but checking this page, or by looking at your current plan.

         

        Do they have any emails in their inbox asking them to join a Dropbox Business team?
