Hi michael_munson, thanks for bringing this to our attention.

 

Are you referring to the Dropbox Business team upgrade as mentioned on this page?

 

Have you already contacted the support team for them to assist further regarding the files?

Dropbox 2TB account holder here. I have this exact same issue since I updated Dropbox on Mac yesterday. All downloaded files are now reported missing under the Download folder on Mac. This is highly critical for me too. The Mac app reports that only 198 files could not sync. However, there were thousands of files in my Download folders that covered years of history. Where did they go?
