10 months agoHi there, kidsphoto let's see what we can find together about this!
Can you check your deleted files page and your shared page, to see if you can locate them?
It'd also help to have a closer look at your events page. Can you do this, and let me know what it reports?
Lastly, were these shared or non-shared files?
Keep me posted!

Hi Megan,
Thanks for getting back to me. They are not in my deleted files or shared.
The files were not shared. We all logged in as one user to our DropBox when we needed to use it. So we didn't have extra users, just our main account. Or if they were considered "shared" files, we didn't intend them to be.
I did check the events page and I can see the folders I am looking for show something like this "You removed your access to the shared folder 2024 Fall"
Any help you can provide in getting access to them again would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks!

Hi kidsphoto, sorry to hear about that!
Were you the owner of the shared folder? If not, your access may have been removed by the owner and the message you see would still say that you removed your access.
Since you don't see any sign of the folder when visiting your sharing page, then I'd suggest contacting another member of the folder in question and have them re-invite you, so you can get access to it.
