Several files have disapeared after I got the message Dropbox is full. I have payed to extend Dropbox memory but still cannot recover the files that are missing. I have checked into deleted files folder, on dropbox.com/events but still cannot recover anything.
What can I do to get all those documents back?
Solved! Go to Solution.
Dropbox doesnt delete anything when its full - it simply stops syncing. So, if they hadnt uploaded to Dropbox in the first place they are not recoverable via Dropbox. Hopefully now that you have the additional space, however, the uploads should kick in from the computer which stopped uploading (as the files should still be in that Dropbox folder on that machine).
When you pay you start paying for the extended recovery etc. from that point. It is not retro active. So if they were deleted over 30 days ago (unlikley if not showing on events list) even by now paying you cant get them back.
