Dropbox Community ModeratorHi there Kotik3000 - sorry to hear about this.
It sounds like you might have moved your photos library to Vault instead of copying it there.
Do you see any additional information in your events page perhaps?
Also, when you say that the folder has been removed from its original location, can you clarify if you're getting any particular errors?
Let us know more and we'll take it from there.
Hey Walter,
Thank you for your reply. Maybe I moved it instead of copying. But I wasnât expecting that when I move a library from one folder to another on my Mac it will be cut into peaces and most files get lost.
About event Page. What information shall I look on events page?
No I havenât received any errors from my MacOS. Where shall I look for them? I havenât touched my laptop since it happened hoping that we can restore my photos.

I see that Dropbox created a folder View only conflicts at 08:22 a.m. when I was sleeping. There were NO events between this event and uploading another file event.

Hi Kotik3000, the Dropbox Vault only remains open for 20 minutes for security purposes.
Most likely it wasn't possible to add your entire photo library within that period, hence the conflicts created when the Vault was shut.
Hey Jay!
Strange. If it âremains open for 20 minutesâ, why does Dropbox send me a notification that it will close after the sync is finished? Also, if it âremains open for 20 minutes, â why view-only-conflicts 2023-11-05 folder was created at 08:22 a.m., more than 7 hours after I moved the library to vault folder on my Mac?
Why did Dropbox remove 50 Gigabytes of my photos from my laptop? And most importantly how then bring it back?Please I need help. Those pictures are important for me.
