Shared Folder went missing
Dear all,
Today is discovered that a shared folder I was using togehter with my wife vanished. Looking through the event page, I see an entry for November 18th,sataing "You have removedyour own access to the folder". Now, for my wife, I find the same message, even hough she is the owner of that folder.
Nothing is shown in my deleted files section in the dropbox web app either. How can I get our files back??
Best regards
I really don't understand this. Should the content of that folder not at least be in my "deleted files" section??

Not for a shared folder, no. If you leave its just removed.
If your wife is also seeing that can she rejoin the share OR can she find them somewhere else - often if a cleanup tool is used and hidden files deleted this can cause that.

Can you rejoin at www.dropbox.com/share ?
No, it is not visible there. As said, my wife, who originally shared that folder with me, has the same problem: Folder gone, nothing in "deleted files", event log shows "You removed your access to the shared folder...", folder also gone from list of shared folders
