    Hey hemituner, as we can only work on account-specific matters via our Official Support channel (we’ll need to investigate sensitive account-related info in more depth), I’ve made sure to run a search on our system on my end, I’ve located your newest open ticket & I can see that you’re currently discussing it with my colleague there. 
     
    I’ve included your comments & rest assured that you’re in safe hands. 
     
    I hope that this is helpful to you & please include all relevant details on that email chain, as they can access your account specifics there & they can further advise how to best resolve the issue you’re facing. Thanks!

    You MUST log a ticket as has been said numerous times I'm afraid.

    Its a PUBLIC forum here - people cant help here.

    I understand that this may frustrating to you at the moment hemituner, though please keep in mind that we can’t access your account specifics here for security reasons. 
     
    Your best bet at the moment would be to pursue a resolution via your open email communication with my colleague. As you’ve accepted the invite to the Dropbox Business account, you should be entitled to priority email support, so they’ll get back in touch with you soon. I hope that this info is a bit more helpful to you!
