Nothing happens to your files when your subscription expires. At most, if you're over your storage quota when your subscription expires you simply won't be able to sync your files, but they'll remain accessible through the Dropbox website. Your files are not deleted or removed from the account.
If you're no longer seeing your files, something else is the cause.

Thats a lie - I cancelled my subscription.
Although they tell you that you can still access all your files... You can't.
I have about 40GB that I can't access in the 'shared section'.

Does your account still exist? Could it be that it was deleted? Are you able to sign into the account on the Dropbox website?
If your account was deleted for some reason, your files woul dbe deleted as well, with no chance of recovery. Note that account deletion doesn't happen automatically unless the account was inactive for more than one year.
... so how cna I check what's the problem with my files?Have you checked your Events page to see if it shows anything?
