Delete and Restore Folders/Files:

 

I would love to be able to see all of the folders/files that were deleted in the last 30 days in the basic version and be able to restore them.  Right now I only see a few items and not even the stuff that was deleted a couple days ago.  I use this platform for school and not being able to completely restore my Folder/Files creates a huge headache when stuff has been accidentally deleted.

How long ago did you delete them?

 

If you are a free user and it was within 30 days follow https://help.dropbox.com/delete-restore/recover-deleted-files-folders

 

If its over that I'm afraid not.

Hey @karthik logan, sorry to hear about this.

 

Have you checked your deleted files page and your events page, to see if you can locate them?
