Files are being deleted on their own and it's been happening for some time now
i am not deleting the file but Files in my dropbox are automatically deleted , deleted files donot carry any name ie who deleted. There seems to be major Bug .. This is happening for past 3-4 months

Dropbox StaffHi iasstudygroup, let's jump right to it!
Is the content that's getting deleted part of a shared folder?
Can you clarify, what your Events page at www.dropbox.com/events shows? This page gives you an overview of all activity in your account including files events (adds/edits/deletes), as well as adding or removing shared folders.
Keep me posted, and we'll take it from there!
yes folders are mostly shared

Hi iasstudygroup, since the folders are mostly shared, then it could be a different member deleting content from there.
Because all shared folder members have access to the folder and its content -especially if they have editing access-, have you checked to make sure if that's the case?
There is no name of the deleted person. Its very strange , same happened earlier , its happening on regular basis now. Pl check the bug. It casts doubts on safety of dropbox.

Hi iasstudygroup, have you used the filter on the right of the deleted files page to only show deletions from your own account?
This is an instance when there is no name shown in the deletions.
