Upgrading Windows wouldn't change anything on your machine to such an extent. Are these the same files being deleted each time, or is it completely at random?
One remote possibility is that the files can't be read for whatever reason, which could indicate a potential hardware issue (as in, the hard drive can't read those files if the drive is very old).
- Your comments about the hard drive I find to be quite reasonable for my problem. I will monitor the hard drive for any problems. When using it, I have not seen any slowness or errors in the computer.
i have reinstalled Dropbox , i have genuine windows , antivirus etc everytime i complain , deleting stops for some time. I ave 21 GB in my account which has been earned by through referrals to others. still my account always gives me messages that 2 GB limit is over . It seems there is some bug in Dropbox which is not recognizing refrrals but in that case also deleting files is not ethical.
It seems not the case

Hi iasstudygroup, if you click on a recently recovered file (not a folder), and check the version history, does it show any username or device name?
