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.

I had an email from Dropbox on 31/10 saying that many files had been deleted. When I checked everything had been deleted! Restoring them will take hours as there seem to be multiple copies too. What a mess.
Rich R. I checked my Events page which says that I deleted on Saturday when I was visiting friends and wasn't even at a computer. Other deletions happened since then which says that my partner deleted them... again I know she didn't. You say that Dropbox cant delete them... so how is it happening?
I also have a Samsung Galaxy 4 and I've disabled Dropbox on this following comments above.
Can Dropbox at least restore them to what they were before the deletion event?
