I have had the same situation my data was taken out of my Dropbox account which I’ve also had for many years and a pic with a note requesting I contact a Gmail address or my data will be deleted after 3 days. It’s now past 3 days and it has been deleted. I am shocked at the effortlessness of the breach, how many more customers have had this and what has been done? I need my data back as it has years of important work and personal info. I need assistance urgently here is my cell number WhatsApp is no doubt better than messaging [email removed as per Community Guidelines]

Hey logjammin75, sorry to jump in here as well.

 

At this point, you're replying to this thread from three different Community profiles; one is logjammin75, the other is logjammin and the third is logjammin.

 

Community profiles are connected to Dropbox accounts, so that means you have three different Dropbox accounts, under three different email addresses.

 

Could that mean that you're looking for your files in the wrong account?
