Where are my files?
My computer apparently crashed overnight. Among other issues, I cannot find my local dropbox desktop app (and the files contained therein), but online at the dropbox website (HERE) I can find no file...

That's not possible. An account must have an email address associated with it. Perhaps you have more than one email that you've used in the past.
I do use Paypal, drawn on my bank account. But it specifically says if one uses paypal, they have contact support.Visit the Support page while you're NOT signed in to a Dropbox account, including these forums, and you'll see options for sign in and billing issues. It's best to use an Incognito or Private browsing session to make sure you're not signed in.

I am also treated like I'm a newcomer, asked to "upgrade" my account from basic of 2000 gb. Well I've already done that. I pay $11.99/month.
If Dropbox is saying you're on the Basic plan but you're already paying for a subscription, then you're paying for a different account than the one you're signed in to. Use the credit card charge lookup tool to identify the account that you're paying for, then sign in to that account.

Hi Rich thank you for the reply. I wondered if that was the case (wrong log in). I so seldom have logged into Dropbox I don't remember the passoword. I think I changed it and now I'm treated like a rookie. So apparently my account is not keyed to my email address. I do use Paypal, drawn on my bank account. But it specifically says if one uses paypal, they have contact support. That seems to be strictly an AI bot which is maddening but I'll try it. Thanks, Robert
