Hi  kw9 

 

The limit of three shouldnt be an issue. If you had that number already set up when the rules came in then it didnt stop any working - it just meant you couldnt add more, or, even reconnect ones that you remove. 

 

In terms of your files what does www.dropbox.com/events show?

Hi, thanks for your suggestions.

 

Well, I definitely added more devices after that but never got any notifications of problems. The ipad would have been added before 2019, but I've added at least 2 desktops since then. But these files have definitely been there later than 2019. 

 

The events listing (which I didn't know about) shows a lot of other activity going back to 10/28/22, including deleted files, but nothing of the files that I'm missing. Any other ideas?
