My coworker gave me access to their files, and now I can't locate my content.

I just messed up my Dropbox and I don't know how to fix it. I need all the help I can get! Please!! 

 

 

My coworker gave me access to some of their files. When I accepted their request, a message popped up asking if I would like to be added to SaturnV. I I assumed this was their file and accepted. Now I can't find anything without doing a deep dive and everything is saving in my CloudStorage > Dropbox-SaturnV (7-17-24 10/05 AM). I'm so lost and everything is bogged down. I just want it to go back to the way it was before. Does anyone know what I can do to fix this? I'm strongly considering canceling my current account and starting a new one.

    Hey emarrie, let's see what we can find together about this.

     

    It sounds like your coworker invited you to join a Dropbox team, and not a shared folder. Could that be the case there?

     

    Provided this is what happened, then you'd need to contact the team's admin, and ask them to convert the account back to a Basic one and remove you from the team.

     

    I hope this clarifies!

      Yes! I'm pretty sure this is what happened. I will ask them to remove me. Anyway I can be added to that but then still have my existing account untouched?

        Hey emarrie!

         

        Sure thing. Follow this Help Center article to see more about transferring your existing account to a Dropbox team account or to create a new Dropbox account.
