Hey Lou H - sorry to jump in here, but I just wanted to mention that you should have been refunded for the remaining of your (previous) subscription when you joined the team.
As Rich mentioned, you can re-upgrade to the plan you'd like at this point.
PS: If you'd like to contact our support team for further assistance on this, you can use this form from an incognito window without being signed into any Dropbox account.

When you join a team, any upgrade (paid or otherwise) is removed from the account. Later, when you're removed from the team, the account is converted back to an individual Basic account. If you want to upgrade again, you can just resubscribe.
I don't know if you can go back on a trial, since the account was on a trial once already.
Hi Rich, thanks for your reply. My mistake, this isn't exactly a trial, but it was + plan that was upgraded for a year to professional. So meaning we have half a year remaining on that plan. (we paid for it). Impossible to find anywhere to contact dropbox directly.

Hi Walter, It's worse here. The same thing happened to me and then the person deleted me from the Team and now I have to wait 7 days to make my account back on my mailadress. I can't get to my own files now and there's no way to get help, I'm horrified by this and need help right away. We're in the middle of buying a house and my accountant needs to get to our administration which is shared with him on Dropbox.

Hi there HelloMarylou - sorry to hear about this.
In this case, you'll need to have the team's admin contact our support team for further assistance in recovering your account back to the team. Once this is done, they'll be able to convert your account back to an individual one as outlined here.
I hope this gets sorted for you soon.
