Welcome to the community waldux​ 

When you check your events page, there should be a calendar there that allows you to see past actions. How far does yours go back? Its likely that Dropbox's event logs don't go back that far. https://www.dropbox.com/events

I'd also check out the file activity page, If you’ve enabled viewer info, you can also see who viewed a file. It's possible that can help you identify who you shared it with.
