Hi JohnL3, since you mentioned the Documents folder was in Dropbox, it's possible you may have enabled the computer backup feature, however, it might not have completed the migration, as there are no files on the Dropbox site on the events page or the deleted files page.
As you also deleted the Trash on the machine, it's possible that the specific folders were also in the Trash somehow, though it wouldn't be possible to determine this now.

Thanks, Megan.
I just went to the Events page and there's very little in there. I don't see anything about downloading errors. In fact, there is no activity recorded until 7/22, when it says I added a Documents folder, which is empty, and increased my quota to 2TB, which must be my order for the Plus version. When I change the date on events - looking back to 7/21, 7/20, etc., there is simply a message saying "you have no activity yet".
