Hey premjonathan, have a wonderful Friday!
I've just sent a message to your Community linked email, and I'd be happy to see you there!
Cheers! - Reinhardtkenneth5 years agoExplorer | Level 3Hi!
This thread gave me a lot of hope.
I filed a ticket #14891374
My account was under my name and was taken over by another email. They took my account (with 3TB storage) and for a moment earlier when I still had access to my mobile app, saw that they deleted all my files except for a funeral video.
Is there anyway I can get my account back? I’ve been a loyal customer of Dropbox (paid) since 2017 and have had such positive experiences up till now. My entire work and portfolio is on Dropbox and I desperately need access to it. Please help. I haven’t got my ticket replied to. Please help! - Megan5 years ago

Hi Reinhardtkenneth, thanks for posting today!
I created a new ticket on my end for you.
Reply back as soon as possible, and I'd be more than happy to help you out, as much as possible. - Reinhardtkenneth5 years agoExplorer | Level 3Hi Lori
Thank you so much I appreciate it
Here’s the same response I replied on my email:
I was hacked and for a brief moment I was still signed in on my mobile app, they changed my email, this hacker, I saw, has deleted EVERYTHING in my Dropbox apart from one funeral video for my grandpa (who unfortunately passed away from covid-19)
Everything else, over 2TB of file went missing. I pay for the 3TB plan. Is there anyway I can get my account AND files back? I’ve been a loyal customer of Dropbox since 2017 (recently even upgraded). - aonderwater5 years agoExplorer | Level 3
Hi please contact me too, we have also a hacked account of a customer of us.
thank you
regards, Arjan
