All folders and files completely missing from my account.

Events link is showing that I just signed up for Dropbox (which is when the issue started).
The Billing link shows that the account is linked to the same email address. It also shows I've been paying for Plus up until 3/1, at which point I was refunded the monthly amount which is when the issue started. So strange...

2 years agoHey treytyler, thanks for posting here!
If your events page shows that you signed up for Dropbox when you first noticed this behavior, then it's most likely a new account.
As for the files, when was the last time you saw your content in your account online?
Do you have another email address that you can use, in order to check for any Dropbox-related emails there?
Keep me posted!

Thanks for replying, Megan. I last saw my files on September 30. I know that's the date due to a deadline I had.
I didn't sign up for a new account. I went to log in on the first of October and was prompted to enter a new password so I went through the motions to update that. I've used the same email address for years now as I only have one personal email account.
Any other ways we can check?- Hannah2 years ago

Hey treytyler, do you have any other email addresses?
I think it's important to check them for any emails from Dropbox, just to confirm that the paid account wasn't associated with a different address.
Because it does sound like this account was just created.

I have no other email addresses. I checked my billing statements from Dropbox and everything has been billed to me under my current email address
