You will, unfortunately, need to manually cross reference the files on your machine and those at www.dropbox.com/home. Or, if you have Dropbox installed on a device everything in the Dropbox folder SHOULD be uploaded - as long as you have quota.
As for previous files www.dropbox.com/events will help 🙂
For shared files, that depends, if the person removed you from the share then there is no way to see what was previously uploaded and what wasn't - all history of the share vanishes as its removed. You may be able to see what Shares existed at www.dropbox.com/share, however, and possibly rejoin some.
I can't find anything in either Home or Events. They're both empty!

If Events is empty one of two things has happened - you are actually using a brand new account and the one with the files on are different OR if all your files were in shares and you have been removed from them then the history wont exist.
If you have other devices connected to Dropbox and they are still working do they show anything?

But again, why cannot it not log on? Please remember we cannot see whats happening here so need you to describe it. I'm also not an employee so have no access to anything other than what you are saying.

It sounds like then they are unrecoverable - at least via Dropbox. If they permanently deleted the files (which they could do as Admin) then they remove and are unrecoverable for everybody. So if they took a copy to a different directory and wiped the share you'd all loose copies but they'd have one.
I was attempting to log in, but I was unsuccessful.

What do you mean? What was the error etc.?

Sign-in failed. It says that the code I should enter from my email is invalid, even though I'm entering the same code!

Unfortunately, you are correct. Thank you very much for your help.
