The only events are from Jan 13 - deleting the files.
I haven't used the service for a while but I want some of the data.
Makes no sense. What else can I check.
Is there a technician that can look at my account and verify this???
There is nothing else we can speculate about,,,
Thank you

Hey TW_10, thanks for the additional info and don't worry, we'll get to the bottom of this.
Do you remember any example names of files that you can search through the search bar in your "all files" page, to see if you can find out more about where they might be?

Not really. A lot of what I'm looking for is photos.
I don't understand how it kept telling me I'm out of storage. Then I deleted one large folder and now I can't access anything.

It is strange indeed, but can you confirm that you've checked all the events from the events page?
Perhaps the photos in question were deleted along with the other files by mistake?

Hi again, TW_10. One more thing I’d like to ask is if you have any other email addresses, besides the one you see on this page.
If you do, please check whether you have another Dropbox account linked to them, where your files could be saved. I’d like to rule out this possibility as well, and go from there.
