iCloud documents disappeared

Hi,


My iCloud documents were automatically deleted/disappeared. Is there a way to get my missing documents back?


Thanks

If all had disappeared then you could check that iCloud Drive is still turned on in Settings, [your name], iCloud

If only some of the documents disappeared then unless you have more than one iCloud account I don't see how they can be recovered if they were deleted.

Check Settings, [your name], iCloud, Manage Storage to see if your plan still what you thought it was. ie your payment card is still valid.

Sign into iCloud.com in a browser in a computer or ipad and check there.

Apple debits my account every month. Last payment was 05 August 2022. Hence, my card is valid.


Why would my files just magically disappear. This is unacceptable, I pay for good service. I see many people complaining about the same issue.


Is there an Apple support email address that you can send to me? I would like to contact someone directly working at Apple to assist with this issue.


Thank you
