2 months agoHi 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!
