Missing files

Hello all

 

When I installed the Dropbox app to my new phone.  All my files were missing.

 

What explains this?

 

Regards

    You've likely signed in to the wrong account. Either you have more than one or you created a new one instead of signing in to an existing one. Check the email address you used to sign in and make sure it matches the one used for the account with your files.

    Hi Rich
    You were bang - on with your answer. I'd forgotten I had another one linked to a separate email. Having multiple DP's is incentive to evade upgrading to premium.
