Hi David, thank you for sharing the files. I see that a person or persons have deleted some files from the shared folder. I think this is what's happening: because the folder is quite large it puts most users over their free 2GB usage and you start getting emails from Dropbox asking you to upgrade (£7.99 per month) or delete files.
To avoid deleting files from the shared folder you can do this: click on the "sharing" button in the dropbox menu on the left. To the right of the Pedal Steel Guitar folder you should see "options". Click on that and leave the folder (you can always rejoin). There is a box which is ticked by default to leave a COPY of the folder in your dropbox. You can delete files from this copy, which you will notice doesn't have the shared folder icon on it (two stick figures). Alternatively, download what you need first and THEN leave the folder. To rejoin, click "sharing" again and you will see David's folder listed.
Hope that helps.
Jonathan
