Since it can't access these files without an internet connection, they aren't stored on the iPad, so it wouldn't be possible to recover them from the device.
Are you certain that these aren't shared files, which are visible on this page?
These are all files I created and did not share with anyone, and they do not show up on the page you linked (shared files).
Right, these are not stored on the ipad, but if they were removed from my actual dropbox account (which I can see no evidence of in my events or deleted files), why are they still showing up if the ipad synced less than 2 weeks ago as per my devices information on the dropbox web site in my account? Where are the files if they were cached less than 2 weeks ago? That's the core of my issue.
