It was NOT obvious that I would lose controll of my account when I was invited to dropbox buisness. I assumed that it would be the same thing as when someone invite me to shares a folder in Dropbox basic, that I would have access to a shared folder.

That should be a big warning that demonstrates that I now abandon all control over my account! My private account! So stupid of DROPBOX to do like this!

Do not understand why they have built up in this way, it is illogical that someone else to take over control of my private account!

I have been in contact with dropbox support and they say that there is a possibility to recover the deleted account and files. However not got it restored yet, but I'm will nag on until they do it!
