Files are deleting themselves?? Why??
I keep seeing advisements pop up of files being deleted, but I am not deleting them.
- Recover one of the deleted files and then look at the previous version history for it. It will show you which account/device was used to delete it. That's where you need to look.
Our company sufferred the similar error. Files are deleting themselves, it seems worse day by day (even deleting folders). Virus could be ruled out as a possible cause 'coz the whole system was always protected by PRO Anti-virus software. Our deletion is also eliminated 'coz noone did it. As can be seen by some comments of superusers here, dropbox could not auto delete files.
We're asking our IT contractor to find out the reason and fix it.

No technological program is infallible and it's absolutely outrageous that you would sit there and spout this same nonsense about how Dropbox just couldn't be responsisble and we all must be massive screw-ups.
Seriously.

This does not work.
I have restored several files that have been deleted several times. Why am I paying you for file sotrage.
Does not work
