All photos from 2010 on are gone

My music disappeared and all photos from 2010 on. Yes I had them on an external backup  drive, and all I saw were picture icons with a gray X. Now even those are gone. The  names of the photo folders...

    I left both external drives and my pc connected overnight and somehow the photo folders are back.

since so many other individuals seem tobe experiencing the same sort of issue, I'd recommend you look for errors in all this new code and not at user error.

There isnt a Dropbox error. 

Dropbox cannot delete files without user doing it. 

0 byte files mean they are not downloaded to the machine. 

www.dropbox.com/events is the Events page

www.dropbox.com/backups is the backup page.
