I had a pro account (paid thru Oct.) but had to delete the files and deactivate the account. After review, I realized there were some files that I didn't have saved locally. Now I'm trying to find a way to reactivate that account and access the deleted files. I was told to sign up for the account again using the same email address and sign up for a pro account again. Now that I've done that I still can't see any deleted files. Any suggestions?

İ am trying to reaktivate my clozed account due inactivity
As has been stated numerous times in this thread, you cannot reactivate an account that has been deleted. If it was recently deleted then Dropbox Support may be able to help you recover the content, but the account is likely gone. The only way to know what can be done is to contact Support.

Hey yadigar0412,
Thanks for getting in touch on the Dropbox Community!
As @Rich mentioned, because your password has expired, you'll need to open a ticket, so that our colleagues have a look at your account and help you with the reactivation.

@Jane - it doesnt mention expired password, it says inactive account (i.e. its been removed as not used for over a year).

No need to respond to this post. It is over 2 years old and was resolved years ago.
