I upgraded my Dropbox Plus to a Dropbox Business a few days ago. I then realised it wasn't for me and cancelled the free trial, hoping to return to my previous personal subscription. However, it appears that my entire account and files have been deactivated and I am no longer able to log in to my account. 

 

Will I be able to recover the files?
