Hey amalb, welcome to our Community! 

If the files were never synced to your Dropbox account online, then the chances of recovering them are very slim.

If I were you, I'd look at the events page to see what's going on.

Keep me posted on the results.

    Hey Megan

     

    Thank you for your reply. This is the only thing i see when i click on the events page. 

    What i don't understand is, how did those files get deleted if they weren't synced in the first place 😞 I hope i can get them back.
