2 years agoHi Helen V, let's jump right into this!
Is it possible that you accidentally signed into the wrong account, or created a new one?
If you click on your little Dropbox icon, on your task bar, next to your WiFi, and then click on the globe icon that should re-direct you online.
When you check the account there, does it look empty? If I were you, I'd also check the account's events page. The Events page at www.dropbox.com/events gives you an overview of all activity in your account including files events (adds/edits/deletes).
Let me know more!

Hi Megan
Unfortunately when the issue occured earlier today, I signed out of the desktop app and once I logged in again, it already asked me to sign up again (same email, that I've used for many many years, since the starting days of Dropbox..). So currently when I click on globe, it takes me to the empty account.. no history, no old files, no purchase history. Same time I have not deleted my account or anything.
I've reached out to the Admin of our Business Team also to take a look if they have done something accidentally on their own side, but this still looks super bizarre.
Events shows zero history. I'm confident I'm logged on with the correct email/user.
