I have no idea why - I'm so confused as to how this could have happened. But all of my files - thousands of files; years of work have all vanished. Is there anyone in tech support that can look into this for me?

Hey leighketchum, sorry to hear about that.

 

If you've made sure you're logged in to the correct Dropbox account, can you check your deleted files page and your events page, to see if you can find any sign of the files?
