Hey WxTech443, thanks for joining the Dropbox Community.

If you rewind a folder to restore deleted files, the member that was removed from the folder will not regain access.

Restoring the folder's deleted files from the deleted files page will also not re-add the removed member.

In any case, as long as you are the owner of the folder (or in some cases a member with edit permissions), you can always remove another member.

I hope this helps, but let me know if you have any questions.
