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

Hello,
Your software deleted all my files from my Dropbox folder on my PC. What the hell? It had to synchronise with them, not delete them. Now I've lost all my photos and videos from 2013-19, thank you Dropbox. I had no copies. The Dropbox support didn’t even check my problem and redirected me back to Dropbox. I also would like to put some screenshots of my PC and the chats with Dropbox online services as an evidence. I’ll be gratefulI if someone from the technical support of dropbox will help me retrieve my files as they are of very high importance to me, I’ll even give manual control of my PC/account via TeamViewer or any other software. I need my files.

Are you able to navigate to the files via the events page and then download them to your computer?
