Dropbox can't delete files on its own. It's simply not capable of it. If a file is being deleted, then either you, another process on your device or someone else with access to the folder is deleting the file.
Restore one of the deleted files and then look at its version history. It will show you the device where the deletion occurred. Check that device for anything that could be deleting the file(s).

It may be deleted or the Dropbox system is corrupted. I just had several thousand files deleted. That incident led me to this article
