    Hey ABL_2400, thanks for posting your question today!

     

    If the admin of the Dropbox Business team removes you from the team by converting your account back to an individual (Basic) one, you can absolutely re-upgrade your account afterwards.

     

    Especially if the account is over its quota after downgrading, you can simply choose the plan you prefer and just re-upgrade.

     

    I hope this helps!

     

    Let me know if you have more questions.

      Make sure the team admin converts your account following the link that Hannah provided. If they just remove you from the team without converting, your account would be deleted.

    Hi,

    Should we back up our Dropbox first? We have ALL of our files on it and I'm worried about losing data.

    Thank you!!

      As long as they convert your account and not just remove you from the team, your data should be safe. That said, it's never a bad idea to make a backup, regardless of the circumstances.
