How to restore deleted folders in a Professional account?

Hello Everyone

 

By mistake, in the tome of new syncronisation, I have delete a lot of folders in my Dropbox.

I have an Professional account and, theoretically, the files has to be available for restore for 180 days.

I have deleted before less then an hour and they are not in the Deleted folder.

 

How can I restore this folders?

 

Thank you in advanced for your fast answer!

  • Hi DJJoe, let's jump right into this! 

     

    Is it possible that the deleted content was shared? Can you check your account's sharing tab

     

    If I were you, I'd also look for the files into the events page. The Events page at www.dropbox.com/events gives you an overview of all activity in your account including files events (adds/edits/deletes), as well as adding or removing shared folders. 

     

    Keep me posted on the results!

      Thank you - this solved my problem.

      I didn't know about the Event page and there is no connection to it on the Dropbox menu - at least I didn't see it.

       

      But - thanks again!
