The same or very similar thing just happened to me:ДЄ (very important) excel fileВ that I edit and save dozens of times each month suddenly opens today as the version, a loss of 6 weeks of work. Trying not to panic.Дid Dropbox cloud have a problem with backups and restores? How do I get this data? Who do I call? What am I spending my money for if Dropbox loses my old versions?Д«oth local copies and the cloud copy have been rolled back to a month-old version and all intermediates have disappeared. I am afraid to look at all the rest of my projects and want to know how I can trust Dropbox. I assumed I needed a Win 10-compatible version of the main program.

* I upgraded both machines from Windows 8.1 to 10ДЄfter upgrading each machine to Windows 10, Dropbox had put up a message saying I could not sync my files until I reinstall Dropbox, which I did. Two things were new since I opened the file last with good data: Each time I started Excel to enter new data, the latest data was always there-until this last time. What happened to the daily saves? I have no way to get that data back.Д®ach time I started my computer for previous dates, the Dropbox icon in the tray said that all files were up to date. There are zero intermediate versions! It's as if I never entered and saved anything all those dates in July. I checked my laptop to see if it contained a copy in the local Dropbox folder that was newerДЈ. I checked the file folders for possible other files, such as an unclosed Excel copyДў. To try to retrieve the data, I did the following:ДЎ. Everything I'd entered from June 22 on was gone. Each time I open it from Excel 2010, add my new data, save, and close the file.ДЄt the end of July (2016) I opened the fileВ as usual. I enter new data into an Microsoft Excel spreadsheet every few days. Does Dropbox staff monitor these questions? I'm not seeing any replies to this or similar posts. (What's my subscription fee for, exactly?)

I would really appreciate somebody from Dropbox looking into this urgently, as I and my colleagues are now resorting to working offline on important Office files and then only copying them back to Dropbox after saving and quitting - which loses half the value of having Dropbox so seamless in the first place. And my thought afterwards was: maybe, as Microsoft Office does its autosaves in weird ways and then has to 'recover' the document after a crash, the temporary files that it uses to do it were NOT being saved on Dropbox, or at least something about Dropbox meant that they didn't get used in the file's recovery - so that Office couldn't/ didn't recover the file as it should, and instead Dropbox replaced it with the last 'healthy' version. (The file was being edited by Powerpoint in Office 2011 for the Mac, and the file type was the older '.ppt').

Very upsetting and extremely inconvenient.Д«ut one clue I have is that in the second case (and quite possibly the first), there had been a software crash. And yep, the only version on offer was the reverted one. Lots of saves in both cases, but somehow all of the changes got lost (that's days of work in the first case - 'only' five solid hours of urgent work in the second). Yes! I've had this happen twice - once with a Microsoft Excel file which was shared, and once with a Powerpoint file which wasn't.
