Hi MikeMp3, thanks for bringing this to our attention.

Recently, support for free teams has ended, so most likely your free team was disbanded due to this reason.

Your account hasn't been affected in any way, so you should still be able to use it.

If you need any further assistance, please let me know!

Hello,

I literally just received this message & I am terrified that I won't be able to retrieve the data that was stored in dropbox & on my C drive which was also dropbox.  See the message below:

 

PLEASE HELP

 

Hi Kira, The GEDF, Inc. team has been disbanded by Dropbox. Your team’s folders have been converted to shared folders, and all GEDF, Inc. groups have been deleted. Your account has been converted to a personal Dropbox plan.

    I also just received an email notification that our team has been disbanded. The linked article says we should have received a notification to take appropriate action 30 days ago, but that was never received. I don't know why DropBox would take such an extreme action like this without properly giving notice, and now I'm also concerned that our data is gone. Please advise.

      I received the same email this morning (total surprise!). So it they pushed my group files into my personal folders area, where are they?

      How are they labeled or stored? How do i find them? I see no indication of them in any folder.

        Hi Jay F, have you checked your shared folders to see if they're there?
