I've actually been through this twice now (its currently disabled from leaving the second company's Team account, I should have known better but I thought they would have "fixed" the issue by now). First time around they just needed my the guy at my last company to approve it being re-enabled (not sure why)... and waiting for that whole flow to start up again for this second time. I should have known better this time :( I really just don't get the reasoning behind the feature being implemented this way. I would imagine Dropbox would want to discourage signing up for multiple accounts just cause ones personal and one's work.
- Wintamute 14y agoI guess its because by joining a Team you're being inducted into an "organisation" and then have access to all their private data. It'd be no good if every time somebody left a Team (say a freelancer) they take a copy of the organisations data with them. I'd imagine a Team account's data is encrypted too, so there's no way to decrypt it without an account that authenticates as a member of said Team ...
- sumitngupta 14y agoDoesn't really work that way though cause I could just copy everything outside of my dropbox account on my personal machine. What I had expected to happen is all the Team priv's like a bigger size limit to be removed (I already had 50gigs before though.. curious if I'll get that back or have to repay) and the shared folders to magically disappear from along side all my personal folders. It really wasn't a huge deal this time around as I learned now to store all my password files and stuff through DB anymore as that boned me pretty hard the last time around.
- Wintamute 14y agoAgreed, point taken.
