Hi, I am unable to see deleted files. How can I get deleted files after 30days?

    Depends upon what you did to the Business Account and how long ago. A request to delete an account does exactly that - deletes it and the data with it.

    The only way to know for sure though is contact support at www.dropbox.com/support and then track at http://dropbox.zendesk.com. Note that replies will take at least a few days.

I had the identical problem as Cindy M.  I uploaded files thinking I was safe sharing the folder. A coworker deleted it. Now it has been 30 days. My files are gone. Unbelievable. Painful.  Weeks of work down the shoot.  Wondering if there is file recovery software I can run that will allow me to recover from the local drive that my dropbox was on. I dont see them in the Trash folder.  Where do files go when they are deleted. Has anyone had any experience recapturing deleted Dropbox files from local drive with software?
