Files with a particular extension are missing
Files with a particular extension (".std") are missing from all the folders without any prompt. Any idea how to recover these files? Is this because dropbox considered it malware or something?

Dear @walter Thank you for your response.
I have checked all of the above and no signs of the file at all. this is not the case for a particulars file bu the case for all the file with this extension.

No, actually I mapped the drive to my computer and copied the files into it. Initially, the files showed a green tick implying the file had been synced. but now all the files are missing.

Do you see them in your backups page perhaps then EMEC?
What about the app's preferences under your selective sync settings?

I haven't changed any of the default settings till now. I checked the backup page too but nothing there. just this particular file that I mentioned is missing.
