It may be possible for the other Company's admin to re-instate our account - but then I suspect that this other company, who is both a client and a competitor (depending on the project) will have access to all our IP, some of our financial records, some of our private photos and most of our client's files, which obviously is not acceptable and in breach of every confidentiality agreement we have ever signed.  I think all we can do is back up the local copy of our files (if they have not self deleted in a sync) and start a new account (which we will be reticent to use now for any sensitive information). We will then need to get our lawyers to make it clear to the other company that they are not to re-instate this account under any circumstances.

PLEASE ADD CLEARER WARNINGS FOR THIS ISSUE! (for when people are joining a third party's team dropbox)
