2 months agoHi JF84,
Thank you so much for reaching out and for sharing your story with us. I can only imagine how meaningful these photos are to you, and I truly understand your concern about keeping them safe. Let’s figure out what’s going on here to make sure your memories of your wife and Bailey stay protected.
So it sounds like you’re seeing notifications about your files being deleted, even though your Dropbox account shows available space - so to help us identify what’s happening, could you please confirm:
- Whether these warnings appear in the Dropbox app, on the website, or through email
- If you’re using Dropbox on multiple devices (such as your computer and phone)
This will just help us to figure out why you might be seeing notifications and where they’re coming from, and how to stop them. Sometimes, these alerts are caused by sync or backup settings, not actual deletion risks. Once we have that detail, I can guide you through checking your backup and storage settings to make sure your photos are safely stored.
Thanks for sharing any additional info, it helps our team investigate without too many questions from us - the sooner we get this sorted for you, the better - so we’ll be here.
