Old account closed due to inactivity. What can I do?
How do I reopen my account after it got closed? I have one registered with my Yahoo account and it got closed on May 2nd and I want to reopen it so I can move my files to another account, This account is one I just made to post this.

More than likely, no. Once an account has been deleted, it's gone. You can try asking Support but they may not be able to assist you.

Hey there (ghenwaabureslan), I can see that you’ve currently been discussing that with my colleague on this thread & she’s already made sure to create a ticket on our system that was automatically closed due to inactivity. Based on your description here though, it seems that you haven’t received their reply on your inbox (note: you may have to check on your Spam folder as well). If so, I’d recommend logging in to our support system by visiting dropbox.zendesk.com with the email address you’re using for your Forum profile, so as to check the interaction. You‘ll need to create a password there, as it is separate from your Dropbox account.As it’s best for us to keep all details in one thread (per our Community Guidelines) , I’d encourage you to either reply on the email my colleague has created on your behalf or let them know on your conversation here in case you need further assistance.Anyhow, I hope that this gets resolved soon for you & thanks for taking the time to write in to us on the Dropbox Forum![This thread is now closed by moderators due to inactivity. If you're experiencing a similar behavior or have a question, feel free to Ask for help from the Community here.] - Mohammedjmahmood4 years agoNew member | Level 2

Unfortunately, once an account is deleted, neither the account nor the files within it can be recovered.
