Files have been added to Dropbox folders, but those folders are empty on my desktop and web.
Files have been added to Dropbox folders, but now those folders are empty on both my desktop and in the web browser. They do not show up in Deleted files either. I need help!

Dropbox.com/events shows files being continuously deleted. I have unlinked every computer but the deletions continue. Is there a way to stop all activity on my Dropbox account?

No, there's no such function. Recover one of the deleted files and then look at its version history. It will show where the deletion occurred.

It shows that the deletion happened 3 minutes before I recovered it by a user who hasn't touched this Dropbox account in over a year.

Also ... all devices have been unlinked from my Dropbox account.

The Events log is always accurate. Maybe they havent done it but a device they were logged in to at one point did - somebody now using a device they didnt realise was still logged on for example. If it says Person A did it then a device or machine they logged in did that.
In terms of logging you out have you done https://help.dropbox.com/security/security-checkup to check for hacking etc.?

I went through the security checkup but see no mention of hacking in there.
I would like to buy Premium Support to get some help before Monday but do not see that option in Add-Ons. Can you point me to where I can buy that ? Thank you.
