Why was my account disabled?
Company account with email (like email Dropbox of me) has been disabled from Saturday, July 11, 2020.
Dropbox hasn't emailed notification?
This account is used for business.
Please help me!

Hi toannguyen2020; thanks for joining our Community!
As we won't be able to help much with account specific inquiries through this platform, I'd suggest using an incognito window while NOT logged into any Dropbox account to contact our support team through this form so we can look further into this.
Let me know if you have any more questions.

Deactivated means that your account has been closed for breaching terms and conditions - that also means, I'm afraid, it wont be reopened.
In terms of your files I'm afraid you will need to access the backups you have of them as its 99% certain they wont be recoverable via Dropbox.

Hi Kiki11343
Unfortunately disabled accounts mean that you have been terminated for breach of terms and conditions. Therefore it is very very very unlikley the account will be restored. By the fact tickets are not being replied to I'd say that it wont be.

Please contact Dropbox support team or send a feedback or bug by the app. The team will help you recover the data. If you are on a plus policy, there is a 30 days of recovering deleted data, even in the recycle bin. So, contact the Dropbox and don't worry.
