How can I delete a whole team?
How do I delete a Team? Not a team member, a team. I'm the administrator and I cannot find the way in which I can delete a Team that I once created but no longer want.
- If you are a paying Business user, yes.
If you are not then no.

A simple "un-join team" or "leave team" would do the trick

dear all,
i am having same problem very simple to solve.
step 1 : login to www.dropbox.com/team
step 2: click leave team
step 3: done
everything will be restore as normal

Okay, but I can't find anything that says "Leave Team" on that Team Page. I would LOVE to leave the Team. The Admin actually closed his account so I can't count on him to do it! And he is still listed as Admin!!!!
What a mess.

Had the same problem, but somehow managed to restore my personal account. I had deleted the team folder that was generated when I created the team under my files. So I went to deleted files (selection at the top right) and restored it. After that went under the team (from the side menu) and clicked leave team. Don't know if this actually was the trigger, but it worked and I was able to restore my personal account.

And if the admin of the team will delete the team then all my files will be gone? WTF again? I'm so worried of all these... and I liked dropbox....I've had a smooth operating personal PRO account for years. This "new feature" is destroying everything!

Thanks for answering. Contacted support to solve it. They need to unlink my account

Is there an actual telephone number to call? I've had this issue since September 2016 and has created headaches after headaches. Any help would be appreciated.
Thank you.

Its the only way to join a team, by you joining.
Its not amazingly clear to people what that means but the info is available.
PS; is it a biz or a adhoc team?
- Theodore M.New member | Level 1
It's an adhoc team...
- DaveC2New member | Level 1
If its an adhoc team, then they dont really own your files, its not as rigid a group as a biz team.
- DaveC2New member | Level 1
For safety sakes I would suggest you unlink a device that contains all your files, such as your pc. In that way even if they screw it up your files are safe.

Not possible. I have 1TB on dropbox and I synchronise only a part of them. That was the reason of going PRO. :-( Even if I will re-link it will take ages to synchronise...
