Is there a setting that got activated which may not be showing me older files before a certain period?
They also mark accounts as inactive and delete files of that account if not accessed in 12 months: https://help.dropbox.com/account-access/email-about-inactive-account

1 month agoWhat is http://www.dropbox.com/events show?
Note that it will only show if it was deleted within the last 6 months. Longer than that and they wont appear on that page.
Note that it is not possible for them to be removed and not on that page unless the owner deleted them and then also permanently deleted them. Also, Dropbox cannot, without being told to do so, remove files.
