I can't view any of my files after being away from Dropbox for a while

I've been away from DB for a while.

 

Now, coming back, I do not see ANY of my stored files.  Is this a new feature - or what am I doing wrong?

 

Seems like I'm gonna drop Dropbox for good.

    How long is a while?

     

    If your account was idle for more than a year it would have been deleted due to inactivity. Once an account has been deleted, neither the account nor the files it contained can be recovered.
