Hi there R4jefs - I'm sorry to hear about your missing files.

If you've ensured that you're looking at the correct Dropbox account, could you take a look at your events page and let me know what you find?

This is the place where all uploads, edits, and deletions are normally logged  so it should give you a hint. 

If  those files  were located in a shared folder, you can also check your sharing tab. 

Keep us posted!
