Hey @cgj0725. Thanks so much! I found your support ticket in our system, and an agent will be reaching out to you shortly to dive into the issue. If there’s anything else you need right now, just let me know. I’m happy to help every step of the way!

Hey @cgj0725, let's jump right into this! Just to make sure we're on the same page, are you referring to standard 2FA or a one-time security code? Also, do you happen to have any other devices linked to this account? If so, the security code might be sent there as well. If you're still stuck, I’d recommend reaching out to…

Hey @linedash! Thanks for the added info. I’ve merged your thread with an existing one, as it looks like you're experiencing the same issue. As my colleague @Hannah mentioned above, our team is aware of the situation and currently investigating. We will update this thread as soon as we have any news or next steps to share.…

Hi @linedash, sorry to hear about that! Can you send me a few screenshots of the error you get when you try to uninstall the app, in order for me to have a visual too? Also, I know this sounds trivial but have you tried restarting your device at all ever since you noticed this?

Hi @tedg! Following up to confirm whether your issue is resolved or if further support is needed. We're here to help either way.

Hi there, @Stgcmtj! A quick follow-up to our last message! Let us know if you still need assistance or if everything is working as expected. 

Hey @MikeSwe and @epleake. Hope things are going smoothly! Just wanted to check if you still need a hand. If all's well, feel free to share what did the trick.

Hey @Kbhim & @jluros! I hope you're both doing well! Is the problem fixed for both of you? Is everything back on track, or do you still face the same issue? Let me know more!

Hey @DevaRiver1! Just as a quick heads-up: uninstalling the Dropbox app doesn't delete your local files—they stay right on your device. However, if those files are now missing, they may have been deleted when you emptied your trash/recycle bin. Because you mentioned that you cannot see any files prior to June 20, 2026,…

Hey there, @zevrix! Just popping in to see if you've had a chance to look at @Neal's last message. Still need help? We're all ears! If the issue is sorted, let us know what worked out for you.

Hey there, @CalebT9 and @minrel, let's jump right into this! Just a quick heads-up: if your files were removed because your Dropbox account went over its quota, you should have received several email notifications warning you about the issue. Could you please reach out to our support team directly by following the steps in…

Hi there, @kdenth, let's take a look into this together. To help us get to the bottom of this, could you clarify if the message says you are running out of storage space on your Mac, or if your Dropbox account itself is full? Is it possible that the user invited you directly to the shared folder instead of sending you a…

Hi there, @Froggger, welcome to our Community! From our side, we want to make sure everything is up and running exactly as expected with the Dropbox app. If you haven't done so yet, you can easily check your app version by hovering over the Dropbox icon in your menu bar or system tray. If it shows that you are on the…

Hi @giacomofilippini, allow me to jump in here! I just sent you an email in order for us to investigate further. Reply back to me, and we'll take it from there. Thanks a bunch!

Hey there, @DevaRiver1, let's jump right into this! It all depends on whether your files and changes were synced online before this deletion occurred. If your Events page doesn't show any activity for the missing files, please double-check that you are logged into the correct Dropbox account. Do you happen to have another…

Hey @boazbentur! Could you please reply directly to your previous email thread with our support team? They should be able to assist you further with this.

Hi @boazbentur! To make sure I understand: you used our Rewind feature, saw the changes update online, but then your local files overwrote the online content? If so, have you tried pausing the Dropbox desktop app before running the Rewind? Letting the content fully restore online first, and then unpausing the app, should…

Hey @boazbentur! Valid question! That's actually the expected behavior here. The changes should sync up to your account online first, and then roll out to the rest of your devices. If you run into any issues or notice something off, just let us know and we'll take a look.

Hey there, @drop_by_drop, let's jump right into this! If the Events page doesn't show any activity for your missing files, please make sure you are logged into the correct Dropbox account and check if they might be under a different email address. Do you happen to have another email address? It is also worth considering…

Hi @Pieter_Betuwe! A quick follow-up to our last message! Let us know if you still need assistance or if everything is working as expected.

Hey @PC1940! Happy to see that your issue is now resolved! If you need something else, please let me know and I will be more than happy to help every step of the way. 

Hey there, @PC1940, let's jump right into this! Have you tried any of the troubleshooting steps our OP mentioned? Also, is the Dropbox desktop application successfully running and syncing, by checking to see if the files in the Dropbox folder have sync icons on them? Have you tried rebooting your machine as well? What…

Hey @Laurent C.5, thanks for posting here! So, it sounds like everything is back on track, yeah? In any case keep an eye out and let us know if you need anything else. We'll be one post away! 🤗

Hey there, @Marcbeth! I can't make any promises, but I'd like to investigate further. I just sent you an email, in order for us to have a closer look into this. Reply back to me, and we'll take it from there. Thanks!
