We need to access a deceased user's account to make a folder private.
Hi Dropbox Community,
We have a Scout leader who passed away. He had shared a Dropbox folder that has pictures of old members, and we are a bit concerned from a GDPR perspective that these are available without needing an account access. We do not have access to the Dropbox, but would like to request the folder is made private. I have read the documentation here:
https://help.dropbox.com/account-settings/access-account-of-someone-who-passed-away
But it says I need to "create a support ticket", but I believe I can only do that if I upgrade my plan from a basic to a Dropbox Plus, Professional, Essentials:
https://help.dropbox.com/account-settings/customer-support-levels
So, how do I create a ticket for a potential GDPR issue, without paying for an account. Seems a bit counterintuitive?
Any questions, please let me know.
Not a problem, MortDraken! Please reply to my email, when you can, and we’ll look into this internally.

Hi MortDraken, thanks for posting on our forum and I’m really sorry to hear about your Scout leader.
I can go ahead and log a ticket for you instead to the email address you see here.
Let me know if that’s alright.
Hi Nancy,
That would be fantastic, thank you.
