    Like EdenWheeler mentioned above, there's no way at all to restore files that have been permanently deleted from a Dropbox account. 

     

    Dropbox Rewind and regular file restorations can only occur for files/folders that haven't been permanently deleted and which are within the file recovery window of each user.

Could they use Dropbox Rewind to restore their file from an earlier time?
