Hey Davidm47, thanks for reaching out to us.

 

When you say that your account was deleted by Dropbox, can you give us some more info?

 

What do you see when you try to sign in?

 

Keep me posted.

    Was it part of a business account? If so the Team Admin can possibly recover it. 

     

    If it was deleted for inactivity etc. then no its not recoverable I'm afraid.

        When did you get deleted by the team admin, Davidm47? Was it in the past 7 days?
