A folder that is owned by me and shared with two others is now empty. What happened to all of my image files? How do I get them back?

I see issues similar to what I'm experiencing above.  What in the world happened to all of my files?  I was just accessing earlier today....

C'mon Dropbox - we pay for this service.

Same here.

ALL files vanished without trace!

Two days ago they were here, but now they simply vanished! ALL files!

Please help ASAP!

I would like to add my two cents 

I too lost a huge amount of files. Random tho. Some various photo files so doc files. But when I say some, I mean thousands of files. I was in shock. 

Luckily I was able to restore ( trash an, click on deleted file and the restore ) 

but why did this happen ? We pay good money for Dropbox. I understand that 

things happen but I would like reassurance that the bug is being fixed as I have no intention to keep restoring files in the years ahead.

All of my folders except one disappeared recently.  The same with my wife's Dropbox folders.   In my Events it said I 'left' certain folders.   It appears that I stopped being a person sharing that folder, even tho I created it.   Dropbox did it, I didn't.   In the web interface there is an option to 'Rejoin' these folders.    I rejoined and all of my folders and files now show up.   They were not deleted.

Currently puzzled: Dropbox icon disappeared from menu; now Dropbox is busy re-syncing thousands of files.  Luckily, I have up-to-date copies of all my "important" and "active" business-related files on my Mac Mini. Hopefully I won't need them. stay tuned - more details of interest if and when they occur.   - PM

I am missing files in folder that were not shared, and I haven't deleted. Looking back to a folder I archived on DB years ago I see the folders are the but are empty. This is terrible! I have ten of thousands of files on here and sync with my PC that are work related. Periodically I go looking for something and its just gone! No idea what I am missing!

At least 10gb of our files are missing in our Business Dropbox account. What's going on?

I can access my files on my tablet but I am on a Mac and I cannot access a single file.  The home page is blank!
