Can't restore files I deleted an hour ago
Help - deleted files I've stupidly deleted a folder from my Dropbox (about an hour ago!) and it's not showing up in the deleted files in the left pane. I can't figure out how to recover it - can...
Welcome to the forum, misterhank!
Is there any chance you permanently deleted that folder from your Dropbox account?
If yes, I'm afraid there's no way to restore it, since it will have gotten immediately removed from our servers, too.
Let me know.

Was it a shared folder?
If so you need to rejoin it at www.dropbox.com/share
I just had this happen to me. A folder was checked by mistake when I was deleting a couple of other files. The files show up for restoration but the folder does not. I don't even know how to do a permanent deletion so I don't think that happened. I simply hit my delete button on the keyboard. The folder was shared with others but they can no longer see the folder as well and it doesn't show as available for them to restore either. Any ideas would much appreciated. Thanks.
