Lost my account and files
I was trying to log in yesterday through mobile app but I was directed to sign up. I tried reseting my password instead. After successfully resetting my password, it turned out to be a new account with welcome message and product tour. All my information details, profile photo are gone and plans was back into 2gb storage and all my stored files was gone. Empty account! I didn't receive any email notification from Dropbox prior this incident.

How long ago did you last use the account?
Can't remember exactly but I think around September of this year, I made a quick visit. Please help me. I kept all my files here. Files that I've been treasuring since 2008...

If it was under a year they should be on the account still - what is www.dropbox.com/events showing?
If that is BLANK then one of two things has happened..... its either a brand new account and you accidentally created one instead of using a one you had OR it was over 12 months since you logged in and so your account has been wiped for inactivity.
It says "You added the app Dropbox" and then the date and time yesterday "22/11/2024 4:30pm".
How come my account was wiped for inactivity without sending me any email notification? The most recent email I received was from yesterday saying "You've successfully reset your password" and "We noticed a new sign in to your account".
