How long does Dropbox Rewind take?

Hello!   Two days ago a member of our team accidentally deleted most of the shared folders in our Business account. Therefore we are now using Dropbox Rewind to rewind back to the day before this...

    It should be quite quick - although it sometimes fails if over 10,000 files. 

     

    To me it sounds like its failed. I'd say try it again and if it still fails log a ticket with support for help via www.dropbox.com/support and then track at http://dropbox.zendesk.com

    Well, it just went through. It took two hours, though. :D
