Hi shanileborja, and thanks for posting here.
If you hadnât used your Dropbox account for more than a year, then itâd be subject to account deletion after that point (and it wouldn't be recoverable).
However, if your account was set to be deleted, you shouldâve received multiple warning emails to your linked email address a few months in advance.
Hope this clarifies things.

First of all, I use an encrypted database of usernames and passwords. Secondly, I'm using the same email address account that receives the emails from Dropbox telling me my account is over quota. So it is one hundred percent certain that I am, in fact, using the correct account.
In addition, your comment regarding the leading data that's over quota is irrelevant. What happened to the 1.9999 gigs of data that are below the 2GB quota??
Are you a dropbox employee? I am at a total loss to understand how it's possible that Dropbox claims to offer a secure product, when you can't even get someone to fix a problem when it appears they are clearly responsible for data that's been deleted.

Thanks for reaching out. We understand your frustration while trying to get this issue looked into and want to help you with this.
In order to help you look into this issue, can you please confirm that the email in question is connected to the account you are contacting us through?
Is it okay to use that email in this query?
Is there exclusive usage of a phone for the account you are referring to?
We can take it from there.

The email has been the same ever since I started, which was around the same time that Drop Box started. [removed per the Community's Guidelines]

Hey enzo_nardo - I just removed your email address from your post.
I wanted to mention that we're only able to reach out to you to investigate further internally through the email address that's linked to your profile here, on our Community.
You can see the email address on your account's setting page.

Confirming that the email in question is connected to the account I am contacting you through.
I am not sure what you mean re "exclusive usage of a phone for the account". Please explain.

Hey A1Alliance, hope itâs OK to jump in.
Can we log a ticket for you and look into this via email instead? Itâll be easier this way, since weâll be able to see account info.
- A1Alliance2 years agoExplorer | Level 4
Please do. Please also confirm that the email address you have ends in ...uru.com, not a gmail address.
