Hi there Wim6 - sorry to hear about your missing files.
If you made sure that you're looking at the correct Dropbox account, could you have a look at your events page and let us know what you find?
All uploads, edits, and deletions are normally logged there, so it should give you a hint.
If the files were shared ones, you can also take a look at your sharing tab.
In any case, please keep us posted!

Hi Walter
thx for your response.
No, i cant find the files in the events page, nor in the deleted files.
I have a new license via my old domain, but after logging in, there is no file to be found.
Really don't know what i "ve done wrong...

Are you signing in using the old Gmail address? If you're signing in with a different email address then you're not going to see the files from the Gmail account.

When was the last time you accessed that Dropbox account and saw your files there?
