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.

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.

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?
