Hi Gamby, welcome to our Community!
Could you send me a screenshot (without showing any of your personal info, such as email) of the error message you receive when trying to access your Dropbox account?
Let me know more, and we'll take it from there!

I contacted support and they said that there was a file violation, but I was not notified by email to remove the files, yesterday they deleted my account bunises with more than 200tb of files from my company files that are 10 years old or so, now they say they can't restore, I don't have admin access, otherwise I would copy the files to another team member but I lost full access, any tips?
