That functionality exists only on the Dropbox website. It's the Dropbox servers that retain version history of your files, not the local Dropbox application on your PC.

Are you saying that your local files have been overwritten with an older copy? If so, and if your files aren't syncing to Dropbox, then Dropbox wouldn't be able to recover them.
Check your Events page as Jay suggested, just to be sure.

Hi JMeen, thanks for bringing this to our attention.
Are you able to see the recently changed files on the events page, or the deleted files page?
Do you have a paid subscription, which would allow you to use to the Dropbox Rewind feature?
This will help me to assist further!
