The support team said that our folder has been rolled back, but this isn't true.

A few days ago, one of our main folders containing 2.7 TB of data was deleted on its own and also disappeared from the Deleted Files folder. We tried using the Rewind feature as well as restoring it through Dropbox Events, but nothing worked.

We also contacted Dropbox Support, and they told us they would roll back the folder to a specific event. However, even after receiving two emails from their technical team confirming the rollback, nothing has changed on our account — no files or folders were recovered.

Can someone please help us with this issue?

Our ticket ID is 25578244.

Thank you.

    Hi Sara703, in order to look into this matter in more detail, I'd recommend contacting the support team directly for them to investigate further.

    Your technical team failed to restore the files and failed to rollback.
    They said they cannot recover permanently deleted files

    Hi from me and thanks for the update on this Spice Pixels 

    I just wanted to mention that it's true that permanently deleted files can't be recovered neither from our end nor yours.

    In any case, I'd recommend getting back to the expert who's handling your case with any additional questions you may have since they'll be better equipped to help you at this point.

    Let us know if you have anything else to add or ask in the meantime.
