Files not showing up in File Requests folder

Question or Issue
I set up a File Request for members of our alumni group to upload reunion photos and I received several emails from Dropbox that various photos had been uploaded, but when I tried to view them in Dropbox only photos from one of the emails show up in my File Request folder. I believe I have enough space remaining in my account. Any idea why the other photo image files are not showing up? If they were uploaded as the email indicates, where might they be? I am not that savvy with Dropbox, so any assistance would be appreciated!

Have you checked the status of the request on your Requests page? Does it show multiple uploads? You can click on a request to see the uploaders, and then click the view uploads button to go to the files that were uploaded.

Yes, I can see the one group of files that were uploaded, but not the others that were included in the other emails I got from Dropbox that listed files that had been uploaded. They aren't in the folder I created for the file uploads in the Request page. or anywhere else that I can find.
