Yes the files on my desktop were fully synced before i signed out of the app into another account.

 

The files that were on my dropbox folder are still in the site but I don't know where are the files that were on my desktop.

 

Whats should I do?

Hey Atla, sorry to jump in, but can you clarify if you can find any signs of your missing files in that account's events page? 

 

Also, do you see an (Old) Dropbox Folder anywhere on your computer?
