Hi,
My files were there Jan 13th.
On the same day I deleted one folder with data in it that I did not need.
Since then, I can not see anything in my existing folder. It says they are empty.
The other thing I did was disconnected old PCs from the DropBox connection. (I think I can only have 3 connected at one time).
Does this have anything to do with it??
-Thanks,
Nancy

2 years agoCan you describe the steps you took to disconnect those devices?

I removed it under the security tab:
These devices are linked to your personal Dropbox account.
I clicked the option to remove.

That shouldn’t affect the files/folders you’ve stored on your Dropbox account, indeed.
The folders in question, are they shared with another user perhaps, or are they personal folders?
If you go back to your Events page again, and scroll down before the 13th of January, are you seeing something more?

The only events are from Jan 13 - deleting the files.
I haven't used the service for a while but I want some of the data.
Makes no sense. What else can I check.
Is there a technician that can look at my account and verify this???
There is nothing else we can speculate about,,,
Thank you
