I seem to be missing some of my files; how can I recover them?
I had files in my Dropbox account with calendar plans for upcoming years. They were titled 2025 Travel Calendar, 2026 Travel Calendar, etc. But these seem to have been lost. I did not delete them. How can I recover these important Word documents?

Have you checked your Deleted Files page? Any files deleted in the last 30 days would be found there unless they were permanently deleted.
I did not delete them.
Dropbox doesn't (and can't) delete your files like that. Your Events page may give some insight into what happened.
You might also try searching your entire account in case the files were moved.

Sorry to hear that, wahlen2you.
When was the last time you saw those files on www.dropbox.com?
Can you also clarify your Dropbox plan, as shown here?
Keep me updated.
