If they were deleted within the last 30 days then you can recover files from your Deleted Files page. If they were deleted more than 30 days ago then they cannot be recovered.
i will pay any fees to recover data, please let me know

That's not possible. If the files were deleted outside of your recovery window, it's not possible to recover them.
- I tapped 'deleted files' and an empty waste basket came up!
Other suggestions?
How'd it happen...New expensive phone I messed up so to restore to 'virginal' new, I took photos/contacts aside, then stripped phone to like new. I then got contacts back but not pics. HELP PLEASE!
Someone shared a folder with me. I moved them and renamed some of them. The folders are there but all the files are gone. The other person said they got a notification they were deleted. So NEITHER of us have copies of the files
How do I get them back?

Hey rewired2change, thanks for joining us on the Dropbox Community.
Have you checked your deleted files page or your events page, to see if you can find the files?
Also, make sure to check your shared page, if you cannot find them in the pages above.
I checked he Shared and Deleted Folders. Nothing there. I found something in the Event Folder but how do I get a copy of it all?
