# Is there a way to retrieve my files on my old dropbox account while not spending too much money on it?

When I was in my high school days, I couldn't afford to upgrade my dropbox account, and most of the stored data from my free account dissappeared. So, is there a way to retrieve it

Yes, possible. Create account / Try 1-month Paid Plan / Add files to the plan limit / Cancel the Plan/ Resubscribe 1 month / Access Files Like Before / Reverse. 

I am currently doing it. It also saved money from buying physical storage. Smart idea! https://prnt.sc/26j7z6u
