Solved

Having issues locating some of my content both online, and the app.

Device
Problem happens in all computers and the web version
Operating System/Browser (if using the web)
Windows 11, Artix Linux
Dropbox App Version/Browser Version
241.4.4795/Chrome 144, Chromium 144 

Question or Issue
I have a huge folder with multiple other folders inside, with names from A to Z. Currently I cannot see any of them that start with a letter after G, with the exception of one that starts with P. Whenever try using the rewind feature in the webapp to get them back, I get an error. How can I fix this? I also don't know when all these folders were removed...

Thanks in advance

    To be clear, is this while viewing your local Dropbox folder, or also while viewing the files in your account on the Dropbox website? If they're also missing from the website, have you looked at the Events page to see what happened to them?
