Admin Account Deleted and Re-Registered But Need to Re-Join Team
I was the admin of my Dropbox Team when my account was mistakenly added to a new team. I have since removed myself from the new team, but in the process my account was deleted. I had to wait 7 days to re-register with the same email address. Now I cannot join my old team because there is no admin on that team to have me join the old team. Please advise!
Hi Graphics MWI
Thats a shared folder, and no, once an account is deleted all records/data etc. on that are totally removed.
The only way to resolve now is to set up a new shared folder and add everybody in again.

Hi Graphics MWI
Is this a paid for Dropbox business account?
I believe the only way to do it is for another Admin on the account to set you back up.
Hi Mark,
Our team members all have personal Dropbox accounts with Dropbox Plus plans. There are currently no administrators on the team. Our goal is to get back on the team and as the administrator.

So, Team folders are only available if you are a paid Business account now: https://help.dropbox.com/organize/team-folders
Therefore I assume you mean Shared Folders. So, if nobody is an Admin then there is no way to do this other than setting up new shared folders I'm afraid.
Here is a screenshot from my boss's account. Everyone can view the files, but only my account is the owner with full access. Is there a way to restore my account with its original files as these files still exist?
