Files after leaving company
Hi,
I was using dropbox in my computer locally and on cloud as well. I left that company now. I deleted my data from my folder. Question is if that data is retrievable for my company or not? What are privacy guidelines within with multiuser account?

What type of account was it? It depends upon who 'owns' the account.
If it was a linked business account (i.e. they paid the licence fee for it) they can recover and access it still just as they could when you worked there - they could log on as you at any point and view your data. When its a business account they own it and all of the data on it.
If, however, it was a free account and you used shared folders (or a paid account you just did shared folders between) then as its your account you should be OK.
