Hey Lou H - sorry to jump in here, but I just wanted to mention that you should have been refunded for the remaining of your (previous) subscription when you joined the team.
As Rich mentioned, you can re-upgrade to the plan you'd like at this point.
PS: If you'd like to contact our support team for further assistance on this, you can use this form from an incognito window without being signed into any Dropbox account.

Hi Walter, It's worse here. The same thing happened to me and then the person deleted me from the Team and now I have to wait 7 days to make my account back on my mailadress. I can't get to my own files now and there's no way to get help, I'm horrified by this and need help right away. We're in the middle of buying a house and my accountant needs to get to our administration which is shared with him on Dropbox.

2 years agoHi there HelloMarylou - sorry to hear about this.
In this case, you'll need to have the team's admin contact our support team for further assistance in recovering your account back to the team. Once this is done, they'll be able to convert your account back to an individual one as outlined here.
I hope this gets sorted for you soon.
- HelloMarylou2 years agoNew member | Level 2Hi, thanks.. I have eventually figured that out via the Help thing from Dropbox. And luckily my client who added me to their team was available to get me back on the team, and then throw me out by converting my account into a personal one. I do feel that there have not been good warnings when I clicked on the button to join the team. When Dropbox sees that Iām joining a team while having a business account myself, that should be enough reason to have me confirm again if I really really really wouldnāt rather make a new account to join the team. And what happens when I do join.. cause this was just a click on a button and everything was gone. The stress it caused was not a good way to start the day Iāll tell you that.
But thanks for the solution, it is the correct solution š so for whoever has this problem. Do what Walter says.
