23 TopicsSeparating Teams and Personal/Paid Accounts
I recently upgraded my personal/paid account to a Teams account to collaborate with some contract workers. After the upgrade, my personal files automatically fell under the umbrella of the overall Teams account. Which is weird - but fine. One of my collaborators, who also had a personal/paid account, joined the Team and now their account is now also under the umbrella of my Teams account. This is making them uncomfortable as they have their own business and personal files are within their Dropbox. If I were to be abducted by aliens and my Teams account go unpaid - how would they get their files or regain control of their content? They should not feel somehow stuck with me as I'm not their primary employer - I'm just trying to make it easy to collaborate on work. Should I recommend that they start a new Dropbox account under a different email to completely separate our files? What happens to their personal files (that are under my Teams umbrella) if I delete them from the Team? Is there a better solution for collaborating than having them be a Teams member? Should I delete them from the Team so they can reactivate their personal account and just share folders?Solved162Views0likes6CommentsMy personal account was accidentally merged into a Business Account
I have a personal Dropbox account for my work as a journalist. My business partner created a new Business Account and invited me to join only to access certain files. When I went to accept the system asked to "merge" the accounts and not understanding what that meant, I clicked yes. Then Dropbox notified me that my personal account was closed and they were refunding me my fee. How do I extricate myself from this? I do not want to own the Business Account or have that for my own Dropbox, I only need access to it. How do I restore my Personal account and revive the subscription? The person who created the new business account says it was a mistake, but doesn't know how to fix it and one can't "call" Dropbox, nor is there a way to change accounts.

Could someone from Dropbox please help me ASAP.Solved875Views0likes4CommentsScared to Disband and confused by instructions
Hello, I need to cancel Dropbox Business. Employees still need Dropbox Basic accounts and need to have access to their personal files as well as shared documents that colleagues from other organizations shared with them. The instructions make it sound simple, and everyone keep access to all their personal and shared files, but loses collaboration and sharing functionality. The statement in red below seems to indicate that everyone on the Team will still be able to see documents and folders that were in the Team Folder. Now they will be in a new shared folder owned by the Admin, but everyone can still see and download if needed. However, there are multiple threads about teams that disbanded and now they can't access any file. Please advise on how to downgrade without it becoming a fiasco. Thank you When you disband your team: All team members and admins get a Dropbox Basic account which contains their personal folder. The content that was in the team space is placed into shared folders, owned by the team admin who triggered the team disband. All users who previously had access to this content, including admins, team members, and external collaborators, continue to have access to the shared folders.319Views0likes1CommentI was on a Plus account, but now I'm on Basic after an admin removed me from the team
