caryldillon, if you delete files from the local Dropbox folder on your computer, these files will also be removed from your Dropbox account online, which is why you’re getting this message (this is what I understand at least from what you’ve described). 

 

Also, do you mean that you’ve added files recently to your desktop app and you can’t see them on www.dropbox.com? Can you clarify the current syncing status of your Dropbox app? 

 

Let me know more details and we’ll go from there.
