    Thanks for that!

How long ago did you last log in to it riptide344 ?

      @Mark I have been using dropbox for years. All my files are on there. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you

        Hey riptide344, let's jump right into this! 

         

        It might sound trivial, but is it possible that you were using your Dropbox account with a different email address? 

         

        Do you have any other linked devices that you can use, to check for your email address there? 

         

        Keep me posted!
