     I can certainly pay for a pro version if it would be possible to recover my files that are lost for more than 30 days?

    So This is possible?

    No, it is not possible. Your files are not recoverable. Sorry.

     

    The only way to get a longer recovery is at the time of deletion be a paid user. So, because you are NOT a paid user your recovery period is 30 days.
