Signed into my account and all my files are gone
Hey, I've been on DB for 13 years and i just had a bunch of old photos mainly and sometimes used it for practical stuff, but now coming back after long time i see DB has been updated alot and all my stuff is gone.
I cant see any files only a RITE folder is visible.
Did DB delete all my stuff?????

Did DB delete all my stuff?????When was the last time you signed in to the account? If the account was idle for more than a year then they would have deleted the content due to inactivity.

Really???? without notice? Probably been more than a year...

I didn't know this was the rule, and I'm not really happy with it. There's a good chance some useful content will disappear this way. At least they could send a notice.

They do. Multiple emails to your email address that is on file - usually starting 90 days before its deleted. Obviously, however, this means you need to have access to the email and read them (ie. they dont do into junk/clutter etc. or be deleted due to people assuming they are marketing ones).

My bad! Thanks for clarifying.
