Can I restore many files at once?
OK, here goes, looking for a one-in-a-million shot. And thank you very much to anyone who may answer me. I recently deleted almost all my word files in dropbox, through cyber-stupidity. Then I received an email saying I have thirty days to restore them. I eventually figured out that I can bring up "deleted files" and hit restore. But I want to go through hundreds of files to pick out many to restore, and my dropbox will only let me bring up twenty-five files for possible restoration, and will not let me scroll further to find other files to restore. By any chance, does someone out there with a LOT more computer knowledge than I possess, know how I can bring up deleted files and get the list to scroll all the way through the hundreds I have deleted so I can pick out a lot of them to restore? Again, I would be immensely grateful to receive a response. Heck, I'm such a computer dunce, I don't know that I'll be able to find the response if someone does reply to me. But again, thank you all for taking the time to read this note.

P.S. I have a Mac Mini.

Hi there, davidhoch, let's see what we can find about this together!
The first thing I'd suggest is your events page which should give you an overview of all activities in your account. Keep in mind that adds, edits, and deletes that happened at roughly the same time are grouped together in Events.
You can choose a specific date to drill down into. If you would like to know more about a specific event, you can click on the blue link to open the event details page. For most deletions, you will be able to recover the files from this page.
Lastly, if you're using a paid plan you can always use Dropbox Rewind. This feature is helpful if you’re trying to undo a large number of changes in a given folder or in your entire account.
Provided you're having trouble restoring your files, we're always here to help. Just give me a shout, and I'll help as much as I possibly can.
Keep me posted!
