Lost a dropbox "Grundejerforening Lundebakken"
We have a big problem.
It seems that someone, maybe an "old" administrator" has deletet our commen dropbox,.
None of the current users have the dropbox "Grundejerforening Lundebakken" in our dropbox overview.
I can se that someone has deleted some file 18 days ago.
I have checked the deleted file, but there are nothing, guess that it is because I do not have access to the dropbox anymore.
Are there anything I/we can do?

Welcome to the forum, Tobisch.
From what I understand, you were previously part of a Business team, and the admin deleted you from it, right?
Is it possible to reach out to the old admin that you mention, if you know who they are? If your Dropbox accounts were deleted within the last 7 days, they can restore them with these steps.
Keep me posted for any updates.

It is not only me, but all who had access to the dropbox. We were 7 + admin who had access.
We are a home owners associaton and all our documents are in that dropbox
Unfortunally the person I think it is, has a dementia illness, and it is very hard to communicate with him.
I have tried to get him to turn over the admin role to me, but he couldn't handel that.
If I had been clever I would have copied the files, but I didn't.
I can see that there have been deleted a lot af files 19 days ago
Are there anyway, we can get it back?

Hey Tobisch, where are you seeing these deletions?
Can you check your events page, to see if they can be located and restored from there?
