I have had the same thing happen to me. I can not access my account at all, I get the same pop up for my individual account. I had tried the free trial of premium dropbox and I selected it could delete any files from my free trial since it had just ended and I thought it would take my back to how my account was before the free trial but now I'm completely locked out of my main account.

Hey michael_96, let's jump right into this!

I'd be happy to send you an email in order for us to have a closer look into this.

Are you okay with that?

Let me know!

    I have the same problem with my premium account. Please reset it , i want to purchase the abonnement.

    I was using my account and then after coming back to my account an hour later the log in now fails and saids This account has been marked as inactive. Contact the team admin, which is my account. No explanation or way to solve this has been given, it cant be due to inactivity because I was just using it. 

     

    PS : to write this message i created another free account with another mail adress

      Hi there bernflo1 - sorry to hear about this, but thanks for letting us know.

      Since we'd need some account specific information, would it be OK if we sent you an email to investigate further?
