Dear Hannah,
thanks for your reply.
The files do not show up in the deleted files page - probably because they were deleted more than 30 days ago?
If so, my question would be: If I upgrade my plan to professional, would that make them re-appear in this page so I can restore them or ist it too late now?
> Also, if you click on the "share" button next to the folder on dropbox.com and then on "who can access", you'll see all the members; do you see this person?
I am 100% positive that the person "Dave ..." is not a member of this folder (anymore), I checked several times. I see all our band members and another person with read access, but not the person who deleted the files.
By now I established that he had access to the folder though (he's an acquaintance).
Would it be possible for him to have deleted all the contents and then have left as a member by himself (i.e. he was not removed by one of us)?
Best regards, Alex
Megan

Hey Alexander-1973, let me jump in here!
I'm afraid that version history and recovery of content doesn't work retroactively, so upgrading your plan won't make a difference.
And yes, it's possible that he was added and later on left the folder.
If you need something else, please let me know and I will be more than happy to help every step of the way.
