I logged into my account and all my files are completely gone

I logged into my dropbox account and all my files are completely gone. There's nothing in deleted or history. It looks like a brand new account. How do I get them back?

I already answered this question. There's no events beyond me logging in that day. My files and pictures from over ten years have just disappeared when they were all there in March 2025. I had deleted a few pictures but not the all the files. I'm pissed.

They arent on this account then - and weren't. If they had been deleted in March they would be showing on Events. Every action for at least 6 months shows and lists on events.
