We had 40th anniversary portraits done. Last July 2023. They sent them to dropbox. I looked today & they are gone! I only had basic. Help

Sorry to see hear that your files are missing, Karen R.

 

How did you originally access those images? Were you invited to a folder or were you given a link?

 

Were the images ever saved to your Dropbox account?

In addition I got a paid plan hoping someone will help me but still nothing. This is all very depressing. Any help would be appreciated.

      Hi Like, is it possible that the extra space you’re missing from your Dropbox account was previously added via a promotion which has now expired?

       

      In order to double check this, you can go here and scroll down the page a bit. If you wish, you can also send me a screenshot of what you see there.

       

      Did you come across any issues when trying to open a ticket using the steps I provided abode?

        Thnx. It was not a promotion. It was for life. This is when Dropbox just opened its doors. Over 15 years or so ago. It worked fine all the time. The. All of the sudden gone.

        Here is the screenshot you requested. Clearly it’s reset or something.
