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.
The same things happens to me and I agree with the other users I have not done anything. I will have a folder I called ICPMS and within the folder have a subfolder called Python. One day the folder is there the next day it is gone and I have to restore it. then a week later it might be gone again. I have dropbox on multiple computers all logged in with me. Sometimes since we work at a college we have to install and un-install dropbox on a computer but that shouldn't do it as we don't lose the other files. We are starting to lose really important files and we are thinking of stopping using dropbox for any important files. I just bought another drive to make continuous backups for this problem. I agree with the other users that somehow dropbox mysteriously deletes folders and files for no reason and there is a bug somewhere. I have not found a pattern yet.
