I edited my files last night, but now my updates are missing.

II updated at least a dozen files last night and when I look now, the files dates show prior years. I've lost a ton of work.  Was Dropbox corrupted in the past 24 hours?

    I've been out of town, so I am late to respond.  I made multiple edits on 11/24 before I left for my trip. Those edits appear on Dropbox.  Whatever issue was plaguing me before seems to be resolved now.  Thank you.

I am confident there is a Dropbox corruption issue. I deleted a file last night and no files show as having been deleted.

Thanks for posting here, jkdotmv.

To look into this further, we’ll need to know a few more details. For example, which platform/device did you use to edit those files initially? Were you able to see your updates on www.dropbox.com after that? 

Are you missing updates from the same platform/device where you originally edited those files or did your updates never sync to a different device instead?

Keep me posted for any additional info.
