Re: After several years, my Dropbox files and folders are gone
Hi all,
I used to have around 2gb of information, now for some reason, all this information suddenly disapeared.
Has someone faced the same problem?

What is Events showing as Rich asked?
- RdL_uy3 years agoExplorer | Level 3Hi, I had no notifications, but checked now as rich said, seems all files have been deleted, seems I have been able to restore everything.
The strange thing of all, is that this operation (deleting) have been while I have been on vacations and for instance not close to afect anything in the account. Any thoughts about this? - Mark3 years ago

Check at https://www.dropbox.com/account/security to make sure you can see what devices are connected and remove unused ones,
Also on one of the restored files open up the Previous Versions menu to see which device deleted it - it may be that the date shown is inaccurate
