Dropbox rewind isn't working properly for Dropbox Plus and above users

no, it hasn't been resolved, and my subscription expires next month as i decided to unsubscribe due to file conflicts with my devices, online only files are giving my computers trouble, but this doesn't happen on linux, in doing so, in deleted files, I should hopefully be able to see the files in clusters, ie, notes1, and 8 other files, and restore like that, because at the moment they're a complete mess so I can't restore them all at once as I have too many, that's why I wanted to use rewind, while I can rewind an individual folder as stated above, a sub folder isn't ideal since I like to store things in the root of my dropbox rather than in folders unless I am dealing with a type of file, for instance, midi".mid" music files, I wanted to restore them so that I can move them elsewhere on my computer, since I also set up owncloud for files I don't need to have in dropbox, being able to rewind my dropbox back to before I accidentally deleted all my files in one fell swoop would be better, I wish there was an easier way of doing it at time of writing

@ Nancy ... Yes 1.2TB in total.
