ACCOUNTS NO LONGER LINKED
I received a notice that my [email removed as per Community Guidelines] accounts are no longer linked. I also have a [email removed as per Community Guidelines] is also no longer linked. When I tried to sign in to [email removed as per Community Guidelines] it says sign in to teams. If I need to change my plan to so that I can link my account and have more devices I will do what needs to be done, I just have no clue what to do. Please help me.

Hi Dr Rosalyn Nichols, thanks for messaging the Community.
It sounds like you're referring to this process of linking accounts.
If the accounts have become unlinked, it would mean that the work account is no longer considered a work account. This could happen when the Dropbox Business team is downgraded, or if it was a free team, then it was disbanded since they are no longer supported.
Could you try logging into the work account and let me know what plan you see there?
This will help me to assist further! I've just had the same issue. - a messsage out of the blue telling me my accounts are no longer linked but my files have not been deleted. Well, that's nice, except that I'm unable to log into the business account. I logged out of my personal account, logged in with the business account details and was taken to a screen that looks like I'm signing up for a new account. I at least want access to my files so that I can save them elsewhere.
Thank you @Hannah. I discovered that my attempts to log in had generated a confirmation request email. I hadn't realized one had been sent. Once I spotted it and confirmed I was able to get in. I'd commented on a similar post here and put my follow-up there but forgot to come back and do the same here. π
Same issue with me. Yes, I can log in via another browser BUT, I want these accounts linked (esp on my phone app) as I jump back and forth all the time. It seems like they don't consider my former "business account" as a "team account" and so I can't link them. It's frustrating that we can't contact Dropbox Support for help doing this. π
The hard drive my Dropbox is on failed last night. I don't know whether it's a coincidence that this morning I get an email "The Work team has been disbanded by Dropbox. Your teamβs folders have been converted to shared folders, and all Work groups have been deleted. Your account has been converted to a personal Dropbox plan."
Seems that Dropbox are taking away services unless you sign up for a paid plan??
Or, like me, it pushes me to Google Drive, and I'll be telling my colleagues likewise, so for the cost of a free account how many paid accounts do they lose?
