I moved all my pictures from Dropbox to OneDrive - or so I thought. Apparently only the icons are in my OneDrive and thousand of pictures from the last 20 years or so are missing. I have deleted them within the last 12 month. Any way they can be restored?

    Hey Mario67, thanks for joining our Community.

     

    I'm afraid that if your files were deleted about a year ago, they can no longer be retrieved through Dropbox.

     

    The restoration window for individual accounts is up to 180 days, depending on your plan. For free accounts it's 30 days.

     

    Sorry that I couldn't be more helpful with this.
