Dropbox StaffSorry to hear about your files missing, Gothdolphin.
When was the last time you accessed those files?
Did you check your deleted files page and your events page, to see if you can locate them?
If they were shared, try checking your shared page as well.
Let us know what you find.
I accessed them earlier this week and they were all there. I just took all of those steps and I still can’t find them.

Have you tried using the search bar in your account on dropbox.com, to see if it gives you any results, Gothdolphin?

Hey Gothdolphin, is it possible that you're looking at a different account, hence why you can't locate them?
When was the last time you were able to view the content when visiting your account online?
- Yes I’ve tried that to no avail. Could I reach out to drop box to get them back?
