All my files are missing on my account, how can I get them back?

I have all the video files I need for the blog and all the other important stuff - gone!

And the worst is you cannot have a live person talking to you.

Asking for the Dropbox staff on here!

    I can't see anything on the deleted page since they reverted the account to basic plan. I have a paid subscription of 2 terabytes.

    Are you certain that you're logged into the same account? 

    Do you see any confirmed payments (with an invoice and receipt) on this page on your account?

    No nothing. As I mentioned, it was reverted to my basic free account which I haven't used.

    If you're not seeing any payments on that page, then it means that this is a different account, as it contains an archive of all payments made to Dropbox.

    Could you try locating the account in question using the card lookup tool?

    The payment was processed via PayPal through a credit card so locating it using the look up tool doesn't work.
