Hi @Erwinvipglobal , thanks for contacting us!
In order to understand what happened, could you let me know what you mean by you 'accidentally switched the synced and override the old files'?
Are there any files in the events page on the site? Are you certain that this is the only email address you've used for a Dropbox account?
This will help me to assist further!

Thanks

As Rich said, the camera uploads feature can't delete files from the site. Did you see any recent events on your account? Do you have another email address at all which could have a Dropbox account on it?
