Can I recover my private files after my account was deleted by the Team admin?

My Dropbox account was linked to a Dropbox team account. Admin removed me from this team by deleting my account. Can my private files be recovered?

    You need to follow Hannahs instructions quickly as its possible to recover but usually only for 7 days unless the company kept a backup copy itself.

    Hey Toni12345678, thanks for joining us.

    Let's see if there's something that can be done.

    Can you ask the team admin to restore you to the team, to see if they're able to do so?

    If they can restore you, that will also restore your private files.

    Then, if you need to be removed from the team, they will need to convert your account to an individual one.

    This will remove you from the team, but will keep your account and personal files.

    Let me know how it goes.
