I have been heavily using DropBox for years, and have never noticed a lost 
file. In fact, I feel safer with a file in DropBox than nearly anywhere else 
because as soon as I put a file in the DropBox directory on any of my machines, 
it get's magically duplicated on the DropBox site and then on three more of my 
own machines also running DropBox. Five copies should be enough.

If a file is accidentally deleted you can recover it for as long as 30 days. 
Here's how to do it.
