Elixir: I think that's the problem: Judging from the listed versions in the version history Dropbox hadn't synced since the 26th of September when I put the file in the Dropbox folder. I added new entries to the file and I worked with them during the last 10 days, but only on my Desktop PC (didn't check the sync function on other devices). So the file was in the Dropbox folder but actually just like a local file - and then I replaced it. So, it seems that only Windows or recovery tools can help me on this. And they don't, I've tried a lot over the weekend.. Anyway, I don't know why Dropbox didn't sync - will get back to the support team about that.
All: Thanks guys, this thread is closed than.
All versions of the replaced file should be listed in the file history. Was your Dropbox running/syncing, and was upto date after you made the modifications and before you replaced the file?
