Files disappearing, even though I didn't delete them

Question

I had some video files disappear about a year ago and was sure I didn’t delete them but assumed maybe I did.

Now, I find a bunch of my audio files are gone. There’s literally nothing in multiple folders I was using.

Could this be due to me using a free account that racked up decent space from multiple referrals?

I’m absolutely positive I didn’t delete the files this time. Does Dropbox delete files on its own after a certain amount of time? These were all old demos I kept on hand and now appear to be gone forever.

Any ideas on what might be happening here?

Hi @d_d0g

Dropbox doesnt delete things on its own, no, it also doesnt even delete if you are over quota.

Can you look at www.dropbox.com/events and see what it shows about those files?
