It sounds like you were invited to and then removed from a Business team account, instead of a simple shared folder. You'll need to contact the team owner (likely the person that deleted and restored your account) and ask them if they have any of the data from your account. When they deleted you they would have had the option to retain the files.

It was as soon as you joined the Team.
When you did that everything in your account became owned by the Team - you are told this during the onboarding process. Its why Dropbox almost tries to force you down setting up a new account instead.

Hi Mark, I understood, what you said. So, is there any option that the administrator of that account can do in setting and I get my remaining data back ?

Also, don't think of it like sharing. You were invited to join another person's Dropbox team account. By accepting, you merged your entire account into theirs. As Mark stated, at that point, they became the owner of your account. This isn't the same as simply sharing a folder.

I get you Rich. Is there any possibility of getting back to my previous data ? I really need a solution to this issue. Otherwise I'm suffering a lot
