Access to files in deleted accpounts
If an employee has created a shared folder and then the employee leaves the company, and their Dropbox account is deleted, do the remaining employees with whom the files are shared still have access ...

Correct. During the process of removing a team member, the team admin is asked if they want to transfer the member's files to another member and they can chose to transfer now or transfer later.

Dropbox StaffHi boyesr, thanks for messaging the Community.
Is the employee a member of a Dropbox Business team, or are they using a personal account?
This will help me to assist further!
They would be part of the business team.

If they're part of the team, and they were deleted from the team, if the team admin transfers the file to another user, then shared folder ownership would also be transferred to the new user.
Thanks!
