Files are deleting themselves?? Why??
I keep seeing advisements pop up of files being deleted, but I am not deleting them.
- 8 years agoRecover one of the deleted files and then look at the previous version history for it. It will show you which account/device was used to delete it. That's where you need to look.

This is extremely frustrating. I have verified that no linked devices are deleting files. There is 0% that one of the linked devices is deleting the files. The files are deleting themselves. So fa, I have lost over 700 files. I can restore them, I know, but they keep deleting themselves much faster than I can control it. I trusted dropbox with all my files and now they are deleting themselves and I can't even call anyone. On the events page it does not indicate who is deleting the files. It does not show which computer is deleting them... Arg..
