I do appreciate the prompt response. I hope that I can get a quick response from the admin.

Please tell me what steps you will take to ensure that this sort of mistake will not be repeated by some other hapless user?
Hi John. Same thing happened to me. Felt sort of ambushed. Seems very poorly thought out to be able to drop your subscription and get all files swallowed up by a client with a single click. Poor engineering. Love how the Dropbox Support email gets an "unmonitored box" response. Really? Working with client admin now to try to get my account back.
