Hi there, MrGuitarro, and thanks for your post.
From what I understand, you previously had a paid individual Dropbox account, with which you joined a Dropbox Business team account and then were removed from the team and now you cannot access your account and files.

Also, do you get some kind of error message, when you try to sign in to the account? For example, that the account doesn't exist?
Let me know and we'll go from there.

You need to contact the company you worked for and ask if they kept a backup. If they didnt its unlikely they'll be able to recover the data as its only kept for 7 days,
The invalid email error is correct because that account no longer exists - the Business deleted it.
They should have removed you from the team instead of deleted you.
