310EI You do not know how grateful I am for the support!
Have an excellent week
Hello, emy_l...
I'm glad that I could help you to know that you're not alone :nerd:
Losing irreplaceable data is something I deal with often in my profession. I may suffer from OCD when I'm on a quest to teach our client's to safeguard their data as much as possible (using multiple methods).
Please keep in mind that I use Dropbox daily because it offers a multitude of fantastic features (eg: sharing collaboration folders, Teams, smart sync, paper, multiple device syncing, etc). However, I use an off-site backup service to help protect our data and I recommend it to other people (eg: CrashPlan, iDrive, etc). In addition, we use encrypted external backup devices.
For future reference, I believe that you should implement several alternative methods to keep your data safe from different threats (eg: theft, fire, hard drive failure, malware or ransomware).
Thank you... try to have a pleasant week as well.

Thanks to both, honestly without the answer in time of 310EI would have given me a collapse. It was important to understand that the files are not deleted and that we were on weekends, outside of working hours. That gave me some strength to wait until Monday. Then on Monday everything flowed. Thanks again Jane for support and solidarity. Hug to you and have an excellent week, full positive and full of good energy.

Thank you for responding, I have dropbox business but I do not see a phone number, I only had the opportunity to chat and the chat was immediately impeded. I only have 2 responses after the "wait" chat that was on Thursday.
Seeing the lack of communication and the importance of the situation, I have made the mistake of sending more than one message.
-I have tried all the ways to recover the files, in events no record appears to have been deleted.
-There are no files in deleted files. This I wake up on Thursday morning, tomorrow is Sunday, and there will be 4 days of this problem.
-It is not possible to restore to a past time, it does not give me the option
-I try to access the dropbox support account to make a ticket, I'm not allowed either.
I greatly appreciate the time it has taken to answer you, but I can not locate the solution, I only have the option of email, chat, twitter and community. I have used them all. Since Thursday there has been no communication.
I'm quite desperate with this, I appreciate the support very much.

Thank you very much, I did not know that I had to create a support dropbox account, I see that I have 2 open tickets. I have no answers but at least I see the tickets.

You're welcome.
If you post the ticket numbers here then I'll forward them to a Dropboxer (employee). Don't expect a response today since they usually respond during business hours Monday through Friday.

You're welcome although my help for you is limited.
I forwarded those numbers to a Dropboxer for review (during their normal business hours).
