What events are you seeing exactly? Are they additions or deletions on the account? Are you able to recover the files from there?
- bambooisbamboo3 years agoExplorer | Level 3It's the list of what I have added or edit those files in my “folder” : 12-june xx added a photo in xxxxx folder. And when you click the folder none if the folders are existed anymore. You can open some files(photos). But the folders are gone.
- bambooisbamboo3 years agoExplorer | Level 3And those files and photos which added in the lost folders can not recover coz It just shows in which day you added xxxto xxxx folder, don't have ways to click them. Shame I cent send screenshot here.. And a weird list says “2nd July I removed assess to S….”. not sure what’s the rest after “s”. And I didn’t touch Dropbox that day. I wonder if I purchase upgrade version I can rewind the date back to 1st July?

It sounds like access to a shared folder was removed, meaning that you or another user removed you from a shared folder.
This means you won't have any version history, or be able to recover the files in the shared folder. You'd need to contact the owner of the shared folder to re-invite you back.
