Someone deleted a folder in my account; can I get it back?

Someone deleted a folder in my account; can I get it back?

Hi, from my Dropbox someone deleted map, full of my jobs. Is there any chance to get it back?
Map not in folder "Deleted". 
May be Dropbox deletes the folders by itself?
I found that map in Dropbox, but there show "who can access" - "Limited", why that? Can i get it back with Dropbox worker help?

Hey @jurijs semjonovs, thanks for joining us on the Dropbox Community.

 

I assume this folder was a shared folder, correct? Were you the owner (did you create the folder) or just a member?

 

What do you see in your events page about it?

 

Let me know and we'll go from there.

Correct yes, that folder was a shared.

In "Events" see this text:

Hi @Jurijs 

 

You can get access to that folder again by asking the owner to reinstate it for you. 

 

I dont think an option to rejoin now appears at www.dropbox.com/share but you can also look there.
