My Dropbox Account has been suspended and my team cannot access to my shared folder
Dear Dropbox Community,
I am writing to seek assistance regarding the suspension of my Dropbox account. Recently, my Dropbox administrator suspended my account, resulting in all the files that ...
Sadly, there isnt. Dropbox will only (and rightfully if we are being honest here) talk to people who are authorised to discuss the account etc. They cannot talk to people who are not part of it morally or legally - after all you were removed and as far as they are concerned that is the end of it. You could have been removed for any reason. Its no different to if you left the company and everything was on an internal shared drive or folder - they are not able to give you the info.
Have you offered to go in to the company and try and troubleshoot with them? If that doesnt work and you are being badmouthed by the company legal action is your only solution. Dropbox is not, at all, able to assist now. If they did the company itself would, very rightly, have good grounds for legal action itself.

Dropbox Community ModeratorHi eladioroos78, based on what you mentioned about your suspension, it sounds like the admin that suspended you chose to delete files from any devices you may be signed into.
In this case, the best thing they can do is contact our support directly since they're on a paid team, in order for our agents to see what they can do, in order to retrieve any missing files.
Dear Megan,
Thank you for your response. Unfortunately, I cannot contact Technical Support because my business account has been suspended. I have tried to find a way to contact Technical Support using my personal account, but I have not been successful in doing so.
Regarding the accusations made by my employer, I strongly believe that the files have not been deleted. They were only removed from the computers of the users with whom I shared those files (which was the entire organization) when my account was suspended. I would like to request guidance on how to request an audit in the Dropbox History to clear up all of these misunderstandings.
Can you please advise me on the best way to proceed and speak directly with Technical Support?
Thank you for your help and support during this difficult time.
Best regards,
Eladio

Hi eladioroos78
As its in a business plan the only people who are get assistance on it are people in that plan - i.e. not you now.
All support is accessed via www.dropbox.com/support BUT they will not help somebody who does not currently have access to the files. If the other users are having issues *they* need to ask support for assistance.
Hi Mark, thanks for your comments.
I understand that part and that's my frustration that I can't query technical support because my account was suspended and I have no way to prove that I didn't delete those files. It's very frustrating because the accusation my employer is making could damage my career and reputation. And there is no way that Dropbox can guide me on how to solve this case. I don't want my account to be re-established, I just want to prove that the shared folders created by me were removed from the computers once my account was suspended.
I hope someone has an idea to help me solve this problem.
Thanks for your help.
