Hi Isabelreno, thanks for contacting us!

 

It sounds like you might have accepted an invite to join a Dropbox Business team, would this be correct, according to this page?

 

You can ask the team admin to convert your account back to a personal plan away from the team.

 

Keep me posted!

    This is such a bad answer. I had the same issue happen with my account. Dropbox should disable this. My freelance files are now in a client's team account because the description of what was happening was so poorly executed. I did not want my files ported to my client account. I did not want my dropbox account deleted. I am glad I am on good terms with my client or I could lose EVERYTHING I have in my dropbox. This is SO BAD you guys. The fix you're suggesting could be impossible to achieve with this admin for this person if they can't contact the admin or she ignores him.
