Hello, I just realized that my Dropbox accounthas been deleted by Dropbox.
It contains all my business files and family photos, so it's very important?
. How can I recover it, please?
It's urgent. Thank you.

Hello, thanks for your answer.
When I try to sign in i see :
This account is deleted
Please sign up with a new account or wait 16 days to re-register with your current email address.
Was it part of a business account? If so the Team Admin can possibly recover it.
If it was deleted for inactivity etc. then no its not recoverable I'm afraid.

So they talk about deleted from team ... but i don't understand i dont have a team
Hi @Davidm47, it sounds like you were actually a member of a Dropbox team, perhaps when you joined a shared folder or someone invited you in the past?
Do you have any emails in your inbox showing that you were asking to join a team?
