Files are deleting themselves?? Why??
I keep seeing advisements pop up of files being deleted, but I am not deleting them.
- Recover 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.
I have the same problem and I believe because the syncing takes way too long to do that any other device that access the dropbox will take the active devices setting of files and set dropbox website to replicate what the active device has currently. I have also had many file that were removed now are coming back. I have not accessed dropbox from any other device except for my main computer and files are deleted (like over 1,000 files) and other files added that were not requested. From all of the posting on this forum stating the same issue and the only solution that is provided is that the problem is on our end then I am not sure if Dropbox is a solution for me anymore. It is a shame since I have been a supporter of Dropbox for many, many years and referred many people to Dropbox.
