Fake phishing email that isnt from Dropbox at all?

What is www.dropbox.com/events showing?

I renamed a folder and got one, it sees the rename as a massive delete followed by a massive add.

Hi everyone,

Pegeen and Dave, could you go to your events page and check that you didn't delete your files?

You can see it here:

https://www.dropbox.com/events

Possibly, you moved around files, deleted some and moved them back to your account.

It's also possible that someone else than you (a member of a shared folder), deleted some files in this shared folder.

Let me know

Something weird is going on. My events has massive files deleted then another huge lot added again. No one is moving all these files around. However, last week I did upgrade to OS X 10.10.5, Do we think that has anything to do with this? Thanks Dave and Laureline for helping.

Hi Pegeen!

It's possible that you moved files around.

I don't see how it could be related with your upgrade to OS X 10.10.5...

You can check who created or deleted these files, and from which computer by checking the previous version of specific files impacted:

1) Sign in to the Dropbox website:

https://www.dropbox.com

2) Find the file you'd like to restore
3) Right-click on the file and choose "Previous versions"

Hope this helps
