SyncOperations.plist.lockfile delete
I just received an email from "no-reply" at Dropbox stating... You recently deleted 3948 files from your Dropbox account. If you want these files back, you can still restore them until 12/12/2025. ...

Thank YOU all. Really appreciate your help on this.
According to the events, after I dropped a legit file into a folder, I followed up 2 minutes later by dropping 3479 files. And the contents seem to be structure files of my Apple address book as well as contacts. That kind of makes sense because my contacts suddenly aren't syncing between my devices any more.
Then it says I deleted them at 1pm and kept adding/deleting from them on until a day later. Very strange.
