I wanted to edit an xlsx file but it's missing

Hello Community,

I wanted to edit an xlsx File this morning.
Unfortunaltely it is gone. I can't find it anywhere.
Also checked in deleted files for the Last 30 days and more. Checked whole year. It is also not there.

These seems like my file has dissappeared and was never on Dropbox.

Any Idea? How to fix it?

    I found two tmp.files. Opened one of Them with Excel and it worked.
    Seems like there was unsaved/unfinished sync

    Hey there T-Rock - sorry to hear about your missing file.

     

    When is the last time you remember seeing it on the website?

     

    Can you have a look at your events page and let us know if you see any signs of it there?

     

    Thanks!
