Hi
Same thing happened to me today on alot of my folders, I could manage to recover almost everything except for the most important one off course - by showing deleted files and restored but the one folder didn't restore. How did you got your data back and how did you find out about the other guy?

We are a committee so posted on our facebook page asking if anyone had been doing anything.  He had deleted his dropbox but backed it up first.  He didnt realise my folder was in there as it was called something different in his dropbox to what I had called it.  When I had tried to restore it wouldn't let me as I hadn't deletd the files even though the event log said it was me.

 

So he gave me a back up of the folder.  Iniitally it didn't copy everything across and a lot was missing.  Next time it worked.

 

So this scenario sounds a little different to yours.  Maybe someone from the past had the folder and you have renamed it.  Maybe they cleaned up their dropbox.  Sorry I cant be much more help.

 

Thanks
