Dropbox StaffHi Carmcc01, thanks for bringing this to our attention.
Do you see the missing files in the events page or deleted files page?
Upgrading to a plan wouldn't help to recover any files if they're not visible on those pages, or if you're outside the recovery period for your plan.
Any info will help me to assist further!

Hi Carmcc01, you mentioned that you haven't used Dropbox in years.
It sounds like your old account might have been deleted due to inactivity, which would then result in the content of the account also getting lost. Could that be the case?
If you need anything else, we'll be happy to assist.
- Then would there be any solution around this?
