Life feels better with Dropbox behind me
I don't know how, but yesterday I must have accidentally removed most of my files.
I use Dropbox, and while I was busy on the internet, I noticed Dropbox going mad with activity. Before I could stop it, close to 60,000 files—business and personal—were apparently missing from my machine.
I rattled of a hasty "haaaylp!" to Dropbox's customer support, but, upon looking more closely, it seemed that all my missing files were in my system's Trash folder. So I started recovering the files from there. I still have no idea how a selection of important files came to be trashed, but all the evidence points to me having accidentally triggered something.
Anyhow, I heard back from Evan G at Dropbox within about an hour of my original request. He was able to offer a roll-back of my files to any point, if I wasn't able to successfully recover the files myself. He also took a look at the software I was using and recommended an upgrade, to be on the safe side.
All in all, my files have never felt so safe.
