How to restore deleted files?

Yesterday I deleted the dripobox application on one of my computers. The files on the other devices were also deleted. Is there any way I can recover this data?

    Hey gacek432, let's jump right into this! 

     

    It sounds rather odd that content from a different device was removed when you uninstalled the app give the fact that files shouldn't even be deleted locally, or online when you uninstall, unless you manually remove them. 

     

    In any case, let's see what we can find about this. Have you checked your events page at all? 

     

    The events page gives you an overview of all activity in your account including files events (adds/edits/deletes). Another great place for you to check is your deleted files page

     

    Keep me posted, and we'll take it from there!
