Hey Walter, thanks for the reply.

 

The files were definitely on my account when I last signed in, which would have been in December. Some of these files had been on the account for over 10 years, they were 100% uploaded. The notifications for the account mention being low on storage space, so I absolutely had files stored... They've just all vanished without warning.

Thanks for the additional information @bersona3

 

Since you made sure that you're looking at the correct account and since there's no file activity showing in your events page and you can't find those files in your deleted files page, the Sharing tab and/or your backups page, I'm afraid we won't be able to help much from our end.

 

That said, if you'd like to have a further look internally, please let me know and I'll reach out via email to investigate further.
