Most of my files are missing from Dropbox. I can only see the more recent ones.
Recently I was looking for a file and discovered all my files have disappeared except a few created very recently. What can I do to find them and restore to my account. Thanks

Hi from me as well, @Nanavirginnia!
To have a clear image of what may be happening, can you please check your old iPad and let me know if you can see all of your missing files in your Dropbox mobile app there? Weâll look into this further after that.
As for your previous posts on the forum, you can try clicking on the three dots next to the post you wish to delete. Are you able to remove the ones you want that way?
Let me know.

Did you understand my email 2 days ago? That i found my files on same account on my previous ipad THAT SHOULD HAVE TRANSFERRED when i set up new ipad. Yesterday i upgraded to plus temporarily to make transferring my files from old ipad to new current one Canât understand why they didnât transfer when i set up new ipad and transferred everything
Iâve advised you and rich several times that i donât know how to delete multiple requests for same thing. You can probably do it for me, right?

Don't worry about that. There's no need.
