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 just modified a couple files in the same folder that I've had issues. Only one time stamp is correct.

    jkdotmv, can you clarify the syncing status and app version of your Dropbox app at the moment? 

    If you open the files that you edited recently via File Explorer > your local Dropbox folder, do you see your latest edits?
