I am having the exact same issue & I did the download weeks ago. I am missing a lot of my files & ALL of my PICTURES. I actually do not remember selecting pictures & so forth to even be transferred just because the new computer that I got was going to be strictly business only. I have tried to look in the deleted files under Dropbox even but there is nothing there. I have to have the files for business, or I will be in some serious trouble. So, if anyone can help with MaggieDad & me please help us in getting our files back & my pictures bc a lot of the pictures I had backed my to laptop I haven't had in years (my 1st born Kindergarten graduation and everything that I can't even get back) so any suggestions is greatly appreciated!!
