Missing Files from my desktop

Missing Files from my desktop

My dropbox app fell out of sync with my PC and now I am missing important files that once existed on my desktop and now I cannot find them anywhere (not even on Dropbox account). Were they somehow deleted automatically? If so, How can I recover them?

Hi @BGoodstein; welcome to our Community and sorry to hear about your missing files.

 

Can you please take a look at your deleted files page to see if they were somehow deleted indeed?

 

Otherwise, you could also check your events page as this is the place where all uploads, edits and deletions are normally logged. 

 

I hope this helps!
