My Dropbox administrator has removed me from Dropbox, so how can I check which files and folders I have uploaded from my computer to Dropbox?
Specifically, the man I was working with on software development stole the system and all the ideas and concepts we had been working on for the last few years and ran away. Before he escaped, he removed my access to Dropbox. A few weeks before that I uploaded many files from my computer to Dropbox and I can't remember which. Therefore I need to find out if I can check locally which files and folders I have attached. If anyone can give me guidance or advice I would be grateful.
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?

The other machine that I was using is old, slow, and also unable to log in to the Dropbox account.

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.

Sign-in failed. It says that the code I should enter from my email is invalid, even though I'm entering the same code!
I access the folder from other devices and find that it's empty. The files and folders have been removed from the shared folder before the person left the folder!

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.
