    If you deleted the account or it if was deleted due to inactivity, no, it cannot be recovered. If the account was part of a Business team and deleted within the last 7 days, the team admin might be able to restore it.

Hey codreanuflavius, thanks for reaching out to us and sorry to hear about this.

 

Was the account deleted due to inactivity? And was it an individual one or part of a Dropbox Business team?

    Hi codreanuflavius, thanks for clarifying! 

     

    In this case, then there's not much that we can do.

     

    Once an account is deleted due to inactivity, the content isn't recoverable.

     

    I hope this clarifies!
