Hey ​@FemiKuye , thanks for reaching out! To help us understand what’s happening and see if the files can be located, we’ll need the URL of one of the missing project files (you can find it in your browser history for example). That will allow the team to check where it’s currently located and what may have happened.
I’ve sent you a DM with a link to contact our support team securely, where you can safely share the files URL.They’re best equipped to investigate this further. Please check your DM when you can for the next steps, thank you!

 

One thing to check in the meantime: is it possible the team associated with this project was deleted? Deleting a team is a manual action, and if that happened, you should have received an email with a “Restore your team here” link. Teams can be restored within 28 days.
If you restore the team, it will reinstate the team along with any files or projects within it, and you should then be able to access it again from the file browser. 
Here are a couple articles from our Help Center with more information: Delete a team and Restore a deleted team.

If you don’t recall deleting the team or didn’t receive a restoration email, then the Support team will need to look into this more closely, sharing a file or project URL with them will be the best next step. Please check your DM, thank you!
