It claims I removed some of the files, which I never did. Moreover, these files are not the ones that are missing....Did dropbox delete my files without notifying me?

If it says you did it then a device which you are signed in to did it - Dropbox cannot do it on its own. It also does not delete data without telling people. Something on one of those devices has moved the data outside of Dropbox I'm afraid.

Never moved them and never deleted them, I only have ever used one device for DB. Seems that drobox can lose data.

Hi @Markembrogno, happy Monday! 

 

You mentioned that your account informed you that you were running out of space. Can I ask how you uploaded these files to Dropbox in the first place?

 

Did you use the app, or the website? Also, when was the last time you saw these files online? 

 

Keep me posted!
