Thank you.
I didn't realise that Rewind was available to free users - I only signed up to Dropbox Plus to get the Rewind facility.

My problem is that Dropbox says has been no activity/changes to my files before (as it happens) the time I did a Rewind (having just signed up for Dropbox Plus)

Hey Drip1, what do you see in your events page here? Do you see any events in the account at all?

    Thank you, that is really useful to see that events log.
    I can see that changes I made on 29/9/2024 caused the problem. Is there a way of going back to the file as it was before that?
