I have a folder in my dropbox that has all of the files missing. All of the folders and sub folders are there but the files are all missing. I'd like to just revert the entire folder back to last Friday.

I lost all my files due to virus and need the entire box rolled back.  Who can I contact?

I lost everything today, 10 years of work from a virus. How can I restore files back to yesterday? Got someone coming to look at computer but I just want to know is this possible?

2 people within 24 hours to a virus - crazy. Either of you care to shear details of the virus? How did it get on your system? What system are you running? Did anything else get wiped or just Dropbox?

Anyway, the previously linked script worked well for me in the past. It should work for you guys also. Are you stuck in running the script?

I need to restore to 16 Sept 2016 as well.  My deleted files folder is empty but most of my folders are missing items and some are completely empty.

If you have a Mac then use the app "Revisions". It will help you restore any file or folder at any specified time.

PC version is not available. Oh, it's a free app.
