How to recover unsynced files after I moved them out of Dropbox?
Hi,
I have not syncronised dropbox in the last 6 months. I deceided to move out from dorpbox to put my files on my computer and all files a d documents created in the last six months have disappea...
Thanks very much Megan,
No did not enable Backup feature.
The steps I follwed were the follwing:
1- I dragged my dropbox folder into my documents folder.
2- I got a message saying something like: If you move out of dropbox you cannot share files with others and be available in other devices" cant remerber the exact words
3- only syncronised files were copied into my computer.. the rest did not appear.. they d not appear in my trash bin..
thanks very much I am a bit desperate
Did you simply move your content outside of your Dropbox folder, to a different path on your device or something different?
Yes, I moved out the content from dropbox folder to documents folder in my mac.
thanks again.. if you can guide me further ..

Hey @daniel Guijarro, if you check your account online, do you see any of your content there?
Also, have you taken a look into your events page? The Events page gives you an overview of all activity in your account including files events (adds/edits/deletes).
thanks. for the record just to let you know that my computer automatically saved the "old Dropbox" on my HD so I didn't loose my non sync files and docs.
Thanks again
