Hi all,
Thank you for your replies. I’ve been too depressed to log in here in fear of there being no solution.
i didn’t receive any emails,Megan. Please, is there anyway? I’d pay any amount of money to recover those photos… so many of my grandparents that I now longer have, and they’ve since passed away. I was uploading them here to keep them safe; I thought I was being smart. I don’t think I’ll handle it well if they’re lost forever. My husband has suggested perhaps there are back-ups somewhere (not that he’s an expert, obviously—just trying to give me hope, I think).
please do let me know?
Best,
Chloé

4 months agoHI chlojito, as Mark said, by now it wouldn't be possible to recover any files from a Dropbox account, let alone one that was deactivated or deleted.
The only possibility remaining for you is if you had a device that was once connected to your account, which hasn't yet synced to Dropbox. The device should still have those files on the hard drive.
