I installed the dropbox on my MAC and it automatically uploaded some files. However when I entered the dropbox, it is not there. it is an important file and I cannot miss it. Can someone help me? ...

Thanks for reaching out to us, 2rerik, and sorry to hear about this.

 

When was the last time you had access to the account and your files?

 

Is it possible that it's been more than 12 months? If that's the case, the account could have been deleted due to inactivity.

    Thanks for the update, 2rerik.

     

    Was your account always an individual one, or were you a member of a Dropbox Business team?

      It's always been a individual private account.

        Hey 2rerik, based on everything you mentioned, it sounds like you indeed accessed a brand-new account. 

         

        If you have more than one email address, could you check the rest for any Dropbox-related emails there?

         

        Do you have any other connected devices to check there?
