Removed from team unexpectedly, team files now in my personal account

Hi, I was part of a Dropbox team and received an email saying I was removed by an administrator. The team owner says she did not remove me and isn’t aware of any changes. Nor does she know how to fix...

Hey tmcannon, thanks for your post today.

This does sound like a strange situation, so let's try to find out what happened.

First of all, there's really no way to get removed from a Dropbox team and not have a team admin actually do it. Meaning, someone must have removed you, but perhaps they did it accidentally.

Can you send me a screenshot of the email you received when you got removed? Just make sure to hide any personal info.

Also, if the team admin tries to restore you back to the team, are they able to?

Keep me posted.
