Dropbox Community ModeratorHi there, jim b.11, and thanks for your post today.
Let's see what we can find about this.
Were these files shared with you by someone on a Dropbox for teams account?
It could be that the team that shared these files with you, is going to be deleted, but just to be sure, can you please send us a screenshot of the message so that we can investigate a bit further?
Thanks in advance.
