Answer – after Grammar check

You mentioned that you couldn't copied (copy) the files and all the files

in the original folder is disappear. (has disappeared) In that case, you

could login (log in) to our billing system to check on it. Appreciate for

('for' is not needed here) your kind understanding.

Explanations:

1) 在 couldn't/could/can 之后的动词，必须是 base form → 不可有 ing, ed 或 s

2) 'has disappeared' 是 ‘已消失’ 的意思。'has disappeared' 的句型，是英文里的 Present Perfect Tense。 'is disappear' 这句型，在英文里并不存在。

3) log in 是动词，login 是名词。想学习如何分辨动词与名词吗？立刻成为会员

4) 当我们使用英文里的 appreciate 时，后面是不须要 for 的！例如：

I appreciate your help. 而并不是 'I appreciate for your help.'
