Hi, thank you for your kind help.
Unfortunelly this feature does not work on free accounts.
Any other suggesttion?
@JoseOrganista the only other option is doing it one by one, or, upgrading for a single month to access that rollback feature.

Version history is available on all accounts. It's just the Rewind feature that's only available with a paid account. You should still be able to recover your files using version history. You just won't be able to do your entire account all at once.
Yes, i know that... but it means doing it file by file...
Thank you.
Hi there,
My laptop was recently hit by Ransomware and this affected a significant number of files/ folders in my Dropbox desktop application. I am using Dropbox Basic so I am unable to use the Rewind feature. I am aware that I could manually restore previous file versions but would it be possible for an administrator to rewind all of my files & folders to before the Ransomware attack?
Thanks so much for your help

Hi @amemo369
Unfortunately not - rewind is a paid for only feature (as is the ability to log tickets and request it is done). Maybe upgrade for a single month to get it done?
