Deleted Files on pc
I have had dropbox for a while and mainly use it to transfer pictures and such to and from devices, However, when I updated dropbox on my computer there was an option to sync files. Not really paying...

Restored most of the deleted files from dropbox's deleted folder online. No option for that on the app. Still highly recommend an option to maybe NOT delete everything from your computer just so there a reason to fill up the Dropbox online storage forcing people to pay for the larger size. Instead maybe, just maybe, add an easily accessible option to not do that. Thanks

Hi,
I moved all my folders from my dropbox account onto another drive by selecting it and dragging it over.
The files in my dropbox were removed and my dropbox is now empty.
The folders that were moved over are now empty. there are no documents and/or files in my folders. This means I have just lost a @#$$ load of work.
Why did this happen?
How can I recover those lost files and documents?
PLEASE HELP!!!!????!!!

Same thing here. Empty folders in my dropbox trash, nothing in my hard drive trash. This is appalling. Where is the actual Dropbox Support?

Do you see any signs of your missing files or folders in your events page?
This is the place where all uploads, edits, and deletions are normally logged so it should give you a hint or two.
