You need to contact the team admin for the Business account and ask them to restore the account. Act quickly as they only have seven days to do it before the account can no longer be recovered. Only the team admin will be able to do this for you; Dropbox can't do it.

Once an account has been deleted, it's not possible to recover the account or the files it contained.

Thank you. I have already attempted contact but they are unresponsive. I worry that they have already deleted the entire business account. Is there anything else I should do?

Hi @Kylie93, how are you today?

 

Have you opened a ticket with our Support team? If so, could you send it over to me, so I can locate it on our system?

Thank you for replying Megan. I only see options to talk to the chat bot and post in this forum. Is there another way I can get support?

Thanks Jay. Yes I have. The resolution was to contact the admin of the account and try to get the folder re-shared.
Need more support?
