I finally accepted this solution. I re-uploaded the missing files to the shared directory. I was able to get them from a TimeMachine (MacBook) backup in an older version.
Thank you for all for cooperations and advise.

Subfolders in a shared (2 members including me) Dropbox Folder are disappearing! Three days ago, a number of critical subfolders disappeared from my local as well as online Dropbox account, but were still appearing in the other person's local Dropbox. Today, subfolders also disappeared from the same folder the other user's local Dropbox. Neither of us have deleted any folders, and in fact the disappearance from my local and online Dropbox came after 30 days of no use of my computer (Mac 13.5.1). The other user has been using Dropbox almost daily. The missing folders do no appear in deleted folders or anywhere else. What is going on, and how to recover- "Rewind"?
