My Dropbox account was deleted due to inactivity, can I get back my referral space?
Hi,
My account was deleted as I was inactive for over a year, and I understand that but is it possible if I can get back the space I earned through referrals to friends previously and yes, I registered with the same email address?
Hey there Anas1, I hope you're well today!
To see if there's anything that we can do for you in this situation, I've reached out to your email address linked to your Community profile.
Please just check your inbox when you have a moment and we can take it from there.
Thanks!

Thanks for joining us here annudawn245!
If the account has already been closed due to inactivity, then I'm afraid there isn't much we can do regarding restoring your files.
The account would need to have an action within it just once every 12 months to be kept active. You can find out more about this here.
Sorry that I can't be of much help with this, but do let me know if you have any questions.
Thanks!

My Dropbox account was also deleted due to inactivity, can I get back my referral space?
I have the same email for my old Dropbox account as well as my current one. I would just like to get my referral storage back since I worked hard on that. Thank you!

Hi jojobaies; thanks for joining our Community and sorry for the late reply.
In your case, you can contact our support team directly and ask if this would be possible.
Just make sure to use an incognito window window without logging into any account and fill out this form by providing as much information as possible along with an email address we can reach you.
Let me know if you have any more questions.

You can try contacting Support directly, but if the account has already been deleted due to inactivity, it's unlikely they'll be able to recover it.

- Udo2607New member | Level 2My account was deleted, could you please reopen it.
Thanks- SanchezDropbox Staff
Hi Udo2607. Welcome to our community!
As Rich mentioned above, if your account was deleted, it is most likely not recoverable. To make sure, it is best to get in touch with our support agents directly at https://www.dropbox.com/support.
Cheers

Looking forward to your reply!- WalterDropbox StaffHey sekiyika & Idna; thanks for joining our discussion here.
If your accounts were indeed closed due to inactivity, I'm afraid we won't be able to help with recovering the accounts or any files you may have stored there.

No, sorry, once an account is removed for inactivity the files are permanently removed.

Hi,
How do I reopen my account after it got closed? I didn't notice the warnings/ mails (thought they are spam emails) . I didn't use my account for a looong time so that's why it closed, ok. BUT I need those files back. Please, tell me that there is something to do to save those files...!
(I opened new account, but that doesn't bring missing files back..:C )
