Have you checked your Backup page?
Thank you.
Why has Dropbox hidden those files? I have NEVER seen that backup page and I have been using this app for at least 10 years.
The interface is really difficult and misleading.
My box is now at last empty.

They're not hidden; just in a different area because they are backups, not regular files. At some point you activated the computer backup feature, either by enabling it in Preferences, or by installing Dropbox and just blindly clicking Next, Next, etc. and ignoring the question about the Backup feature, which enables it by default.
Whilst I have you can I ask another question?
When I take photos on my mobile they used to always go straight into my dropbox but now they don't.
How can I restore that facility please?

Hey sussexwoman! I hope you don’t mind me jump in.
It sounds like you had previously enabled camera uploads on your mobile device. You can check these steps in order to re-enable the feature on your Dropbox app.
Hope this helps!
