Where are PST files?

Have been storing old/backup versions of PST files in Dropbox folders. Two older ones appear to be missing.

Is there a policy in DropBox not to store old PST files? I seem to recall reading about a time limit for some cloud service?  This would be a little more than concerning. Am I going mad? Was it another cloud service? (I also use OneDrive and Sync)

Thanks

    Hi Rory O. 

     

    There is no limit on how long things are stored in Dropbox as long as the account is in use and you are under quota. 

     

    Have you tried to do a search for them at www.dropbox.com/home ?
