It appears they are gone or if my personal account was never there between February and July.
If you were a member of a Business team account, then your personal account no longer existed. It was merged into the team. It wasn't until the team admin converted you back to an individual account that you had a personal account again. Before then, you were likely saving files into the team folder. Have you asked the admin to do a search?
Yes. I got the admin login and have looked myself. I was working off of my personal account and saving all my files with no problems from February until yesterday. It doesn’t appear it was until yesterday that my account fully sync’d.

What is www.dropbox.com/events showing?
- It’s showing I have no activity from February 26th (when I accepted the invite) until now. Which is 100% not correct as this is Dropbox is the only place my work files are saved and I’ve worked out of it every day since February 26th.
When I go to my file explorer on my computer the date next to my files show 7/5/24 but when I go into the files my excels files and pdf’s are all from February. There’s a gap from February until now.- Mark
So, if Events is empty then you were not using the account you are using now OR Dropbox was not running and syncing.
That means EITHER you were using a different account and log on - even by accident or Dropbox was not running or if it was running had an error (over quota etc.)
