    Sorry to hear about this, @layneheb. Let’s have a look.

Hi Nancy, 

 

I was able to see what happened in our Events page! Is there a way to quickly access that? I don't know where to find that page in my account if I ever need it in the future. 

 

Thank you so much!

    Just bookmark the URL. The link was removed from the Dropbox website a long time ago (for what reason, no one knows).
