    Hey there epaez  - how are you today?

    Can you please let me know if you can see any edits of this file logged under your Events page

    Could you also check the file's version history to see if there were any edits saved in Dropbox recently?

    If these suggestions aren't helpful in your case, I'm afraid those files are nowhere to be recovered from (on our side at least). 

    Let me know what you find!
