Files are being deleted on their own and it's been happening for some time now
i am not deleting the file but Files in my dropbox are automatically deleted , deleted files donot carry any name ie who deleted. There seems to be major Bug .. This is happening for past 3-4 months

Dropbox StaffHi iasstudygroup, since the folders are mostly shared, then it could be a different member deleting content from there.
Because all shared folder members have access to the folder and its content -especially if they have editing access-, have you checked to make sure if that's the case?
There is no name of the deleted person. Its very strange , same happened earlier , its happening on regular basis now. Pl check the bug. It casts doubts on safety of dropbox.

Hi iasstudygroup, have you used the filter on the right of the deleted files page to only show deletions from your own account?
This is an instance when there is no name shown in the deletions.
pl address my basic issue
It may be deleted or the Dropbox system is corrupted. I just had several thousand files deleted. That incident led me to this article.
If you are a self-delete person, you cannot delete thousands of files in many folders (not folders) at the same time.
I'm also very worried about the data now. Because the most important data, I prioritize syncing Dropbox on my computer- Jay
HI Bach Huy Hoang, it sounds like something on your machine is causing these files to be deleted, or even 'appearing' to be deleted according to the Dropbox service.
Are the files all in a specific folder, or randomly located on your account?
