I went into Dropbox to retreive a file only to discover that every single file I had uploaded (pdf's) are GONE!
I went into my computer's history and found several old links to certain files on dropbox and when it brings me to the dropbox page, a message pops up saying file doesn't exist.
I don't know what happened but Im devestated that all my files are now gone!!

I went into my computer's history to find a previous link from September and when I click on it instead of it bringing me to the file I get an error message saying "file doesn't exist." It's as if all my files were deleted. But yet when I go into deleted files nothing there exists.

Hey KatHomespun, sorry to hear about this.
I would suggest scrolling down as much as you can on the events page; it should show you events as far back as 30 days ago, so make sure not to miss anything that would give you a clue as to what happened.
Try searching for some example file names through the search bar as well, to see what you can find.
