I edited my files last night, but now my updates are missing.
II updated at least a dozen files last night and when I look now, the files dates show prior years. I've lost a ton of work. Was Dropbox corrupted in the past 24 hours?

All work was done on the same pc with Windows 11. I was able to see the edits. I saw the edits in the application as I opened and closed the files by monitoring the file dates. I don't believe I looked at the files in File Explorer.
Most of the files appear as though they were restored from one year ago when I made the edits. This is an annual process. On 11/21/2004, I edited 14 files. As I look now, none of the files have recent 2024 dates.
I did check the file dates on a MacBook and saw the same result. No recent file dates on the files that I updated this week.

What does www.dropbox.com/events show out of interest? Is Dropbox connecting on that machine?
