1) if the files are permanently removed they disappear from both Events and Deleted items. Files are recoverable for 30 days but only if not permanently deleted. If they are there is no recovery.
2) the only info about the device is what you see on that page I'm afraid. Dropbox has/stores no other info.
I assume you've not secured your account/reset password/set up 2FA etc. ?
Thanks for your response Mark.
For the first question, my understanding is if file are permanently deleted, even within 30 days, then all the event history and deletion history related to these files will also be removed. Is it corret?
For the second question, I can see the suspicious computer name was added into the device list, so I assume IP address and accurate time is not recorded by Dropbox?
