I downgraded my Business plan, while the member was still part of the team. I was unaware he had other files that he needed. I could not access his files when he was on my Business plan, and I cannot see them now. When he clicks on the "see next steps," it says, "Your Business trial has ended. You can't upload files or folders. To resume uploads, contact your admin." As an admin, I cannot see how to help or what next steps might be. Thank you.

Sorry to jump in here, msebeling.
Just to clarify, was the Business trial cancelled, or did it just expire?
If it just expired, you're probably in what we call a 'locked state', which limits access to the accounts that were on the team.
Once you disband the team, everyone will go back to the accounts they had before the trial and any personal files will still be in the accounts.
Let me know if that's the case.
