Dropbox StaffHi Martin Simonovski, thanks for bringing this to our attention.
It wouldn't really be possible to know what files were uploaded to a Dropbox account from the local machine itself.
If they used the desktop app, or the site, then any uploads would be listed on the events page, however, those events are specific to each account.
Do you know exactly what method they used to upload files? Do you see any browser history (such as any Dropbox URLs) that might help shed some light?
This will help me to assist further!
Thank you for your reply, Jay. It means a lot to me. For uploading, I used the simplest copy-and-paste method from my computer to the Dropbox app. I don't know which method the other person used for uploading, the only thing I know is that he was using dropbox from a macbook app. I have checked the events page and I can't find anything there.

When you say copy and paste, do you mean pasting into the Dropbox folder, or the Dropbox website?
As you mentioned that the user removed your access, does this mean access to a shared folder? The removal of that shared folder should be visible on the events page, if this is the case.
- Dropbox folder (Dropbox app)
- Yes, access to a shared folder. It is not visible on the events page, he has probably copied the folders to his machine and then removed (deleted) them from Dropbox.

If the files were in a shared folder, and your access was removed from it, then there should be a message about this in the events page.
However, it does mean that it wouldn't be possible to recover the files from the shared folder, since you're no longer a member of it.
Are you certain that there's no other copy of the files on your computer, or even another computer that you haven't used since this happened??
You could use file recovery software to potentially recover any data that was locally stored on your machine.
