Hello box team, I opened the box and found that all the files were gone, how can I retrieve them? My missing folder has three sharers, but I'm not sure which is the owner. Because the email is no longer available. Last month I was able to see shared files in my account, this month neither I nor the other sharer can see them. how can I retrieve them?
