I don't see an "Events" option, just Photos, Signatures, Shared, File Rqeuests, Deletions. Nothing is in Deletions. Accounts are closed for inactivity? Hmm you'd think there would be warning on that. If it was closed due to inactivity and I logged in after that time, would it remember folders that were shared with me by others?

Hey John B , sorry to jump in here.
Walter linked the events page for you in his reply above, but here it is again:

Accounts are closed after 12 months of inactivity, but if you can see old shared folders from years ago, then no such action was taken on your account.
Do you remember any file names, so that you can search for them through the search bar at the top left of this page?
