Hey jblankenship, I'm not very clear on what happened exactly; did your company just change the email address associated with your already existing account?
Or did they create a new account for you?
Did you check your events page, like Mark suggested, while logged in with your personal email?

Hi Hannah,
R: I did look at the add and deleted items in the event page. The files that I'm looking for are not listed in the history on the event page.
What happened: my account was set up under my personal email. My boss changed the account to my work email. When I log back into my personal email I still can not see these files that were in my personal email dropbox and are not in my work dropbox...(I can't see in either dropbox).
