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...

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.

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?

They are not on a business plan. My query relates more to the suspension of their account and how that can be resolved. They need to be able to log in and access their files (particularly Dropbox Paper documents). Could you tell me what the course of action is to get this resolved please? The message they receive when trying to log in does not give any indication of why the account was suspended or how to get this suspension removed. I can categorically confirm that this is something that has been initiated by yourselves (Dropbox), so I would like instruction on how to get this resolved.
If you aren't able to provide this, then that is fine. But then, please just clarify so then I can advise on migrating their data out of Dropbox, if they are locked out indefinitely with no reason given.- Jay3 years agoDropbox Staff
