My Dropbox Account has been suspended and my team cannot access to my shared folder
Dear Dropbox Community,
I am writing to seek assistance regarding the suspension of my Dropbox account. Recently, my Dropbox administrator suspended my account, resulting in all the files that ...

Sadly, there isnt. Dropbox will only (and rightfully if we are being honest here) talk to people who are authorised to discuss the account etc. They cannot talk to people who are not part of it morally or legally - after all you were removed and as far as they are concerned that is the end of it. You could have been removed for any reason. Its no different to if you left the company and everything was on an internal shared drive or folder - they are not able to give you the info.
Have you offered to go in to the company and try and troubleshoot with them? If that doesnt work and you are being badmouthed by the company legal action is your only solution. Dropbox is not, at all, able to assist now. If they did the company itself would, very rightly, have good grounds for legal action itself.

I used Dropbox via my personal email for a number of years. I was given access to files of a company that I was working with for a year. On leaving they were slow to end the shared access. In the meantime I have continued to use Dropbox via my personal email & have save many new files that relate to the business of the next company I worked for.
Completely out of nowhere I received an email from Dropbox stated that my email/account were suspended & that I should contact the administrator to resolve this. I have no idea who the administrator is. How can I resolve this serious issue if I don't know who I'm to contact?
I have tried to reset the password relating to the email I use for Dropbox & I can't even do that. I get the error message stating that my account is suspended.
There are some extremely important tax documents that I urgently need to provide to the tax authorities & our tax advisors, this really is a serious matter for me & would really appreciate any help that anyone can give. I'm in a desperate position as a result of this situation.
Many thanks.

Hey tiffer1967, thanks for posting here today!
If I understand correctly, you were added to a Business team, and your Dropbox account has been suspended.
In that case, only your team admin can unsuspend it on their end. After that, they can convert the account to a personal one instead.
Do you have any old emails, that you can use in order to locate the team's admin?
Let me know more!
