All my files have disappeared without any action on my part. How can I recover them?

Hello,

I'm facing a very serious issue: all of my files have disappeared from my Dropbox account overnight, without me performing any deletion.

I have already:

  • Checked the deleted files section (nothing there)
  • Reviewed the events history (no clear trace of mass deletion)
  • Verified connected devices (no suspicious access)
  • Contacted customer support, but received no real help
  • Read all FAQ articles without finding a solution

I am using a Dropbox Basic account, and I urgently need assistance to recover my data — or at the very least, a clear explanation of what happened.

Please escalate this ticket to a Level 2 technician, or provide me with a concrete solution for restoration, as this is a critical situation for me.

Sincerely
