Hello anonymous, let's see what we can find.
It looks like computer backup was enabled, which adds computer folders (like Documents, Downloads, and Desktop) to your Dropbox folder.
Has the desktop app finished syncing?
You can see that by hovering or clicking on the Dropbox icon that's on your menu bar.
If so, could you also have a look at your events page to see if there is a record of the file being added to your account?
Check it out and let me know of any updates, thanks!

Hello,
Yes, the computer had finished syncing.
I can't find the archive anymore. It's not in my computer or dropbox!

Can you locate any deleted files on your Dropbox account to recover the files?
