    I tried it, and it worked, even though it's a beta version. Thank you so much! 😀

    Hey Benjamin Gordon, sorry to hear about that! 

    Have you tried signing out of the app, and then back in? Any other troubleshooting steps?

    Is it the exact same experience as the one you'd mentioned before? 

  • yes, many times. yes the files have disappeared again from the dropbox app. ive tried going back to the public release, new betas. sometimes the files appear but aren't visible to certain applications so something weird is going on.

    is it possible to escalate this?

    Hey Benjamin Gordon​!

    Yes, I think it's best to switch to email communication in order for me to check a few additional things. 

    I just sent you an email, and I'll be happy to continue looking into this there. Thanks a bunch!
