Thank you for your help. You may wish to read my last post on the ticket. It is not a pretty story and it does not appear to have a good outcome.

I had heard stories of poor Dropbox support and dismissed them as malicious rumours. But now I have experienced it directly. I have just received a survey telling me coincidentally that my case has been closed. No one has discussed closing the case with me. In fact, you are still asking me questions, and I am providing answers. In my view, I have lost more than 80Gb in backups and even your emails imply that a beta version may at least be partially responsible. Yet I have no idea why you have taken such precipitous action.
Indeed, the usual industry practice is never to close a support case without first asking for the customer's comments. However, it is only in your survey offered after closing the case that such questions are broached. Despite the technical merits of my case, to treat a customer of 12 years like this is appalling.
Please advise me of the steps I need to take to have the decision to close my case reviewed.
