HELP!!!!!

 

I had a job where the boss added me to his/the business drop box. It automatically synced my personal files / documents from my home PC to the business drop box. When I quit, he deleted me from the business drop box and now I no longer have access to ANY of my personal documents on my PC! My Documents folder, Pictures folder, all of it says I no longer have access to the source and the pathway says it's through dropbox... I am not techy but I am PISSED that I may have lost all of my personal documents and photos to this **bleep** job. PLEASE HELP!!! I can't even save a document or download anything from my computer now!!Screenshot 2023-03-13 114805.png

Hi @coledanellerich, thanks for bringing this to our attention.

 

It sounds like you were using the computer backup feature given the location of the missing files.

 

Since the team admin has deleted your account, this means that your files on the site would be missing. Is it possible for the team admin to recover your account, just temporarily, and then convert it to a personal account for you to get your files back?

 

This will help me to assist further!
