    Nothing happens to your files when your subscription expires. At most, if you're over your storage quota when your subscription expires you simply won't be able to sync your files, but they'll remain accessible through the Dropbox website. Your files are not deleted or removed from the account.

    If you're no longer seeing your files, something else is the cause.

Files won't be deleted. You can still find them all in your drive yet you cannot  sync anymore. You can only delete. Yet any update or newly added files can't be saved in the driver anymore unless it goes down to your original memory space.
