Files are deleting themselves?? Why??

I keep seeing advisements pop up of files being deleted, but I am not deleting them.
Delete
Restore

    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.

As you can see below, I select restore and within 3 seconds after resorting it, DropBox says I deleted it. I'm not.></p> <p>If I look at the events, you can see it doesn't matter if I add it via the Web or my local machine. Same cr*p.</p> <p><img src=

 

Can someone now please admit there is a problem and stop saying DropBox can't delete it? There is obviously a runaway synchronization problem or some such issue that deletes the file from the very same machine it is added on.

 

HELP!
