    Hey NargisH - sorry to jump in here, but can you find any signs of your missing files in the events page? 

    Also, do you happen to have another Dropbox account perhaps, associated with a different email address of yours?

      I don’t think so. If I give you an email address, are you able to check it for me? 
      As if I do, it would be under my old email addresses which I don’t have access to anymore

        You should be able to check on your end by trying to sign into the account by using the email address and password you were using for the account that's associated with the email address you received the email you originally mentioned NargisH
