My dropbox account is deleted
Hello, I have used dropbox for several years (my dropbox mail address was: [Removed as per Community Guidelines]). The problem is that I cannot access my account since 2021. Sep. 2. Resetting passw...
- In that case, the account sounds like it was fully deleted, and this is a new account.
However, the team admin might still have the option to transfer your files on the deleted account to another member on the team, including the admin themselves.
That member could then share those files to you so you can download them or add them to your current account.

Dropbox Community ModeratorHi bjchoi, thanks for joining the Community!
As you were able to create an account with the same email, it means that the original account has been deleted from the system. In general, this means that it wouldn't be possible to restore the original account.
Was that previous account part of a Dropbox Business team, or was it a private, personal account?
This will help me to assist further!

Thank you for reply.
I was a member of Dropbox Business team.
I requested our team's administrator to downgrade my Dropbox Business account to Dropbox Plus using the following manual: (https://help.dropbox.com/ko-kr/accounts-billing/plans-upgrades/convert-individual-plan)
and our team's administrator follows the procedure stated in the above link.
Since then, I cannot access my account. I think there was an error when converting my account.
- JayThose steps would convert a member on a Dropbox Business plan to a personal account away from the team.
If they didn't choose the option to 'Convert to individual Dropbox Basic account instead', then they would have deleted the account from the system completely.
Generally, the email is reserved for 7 days to allow the admin to recover the account.
In the account you're logged into, is it definitely a brand new account with no files or events in the history?Yes, the account I recently made with the same mail address is definitely a brand new account. Files as well as history(file events) do not exist.
