Downgraded Dropbox to basic and accidentally deleted entire Dropbox folder from my D Drive
I thought it was a full backup, not the actual folder. I see all the files (580GB) on Dropbox online. Can I download the whole lot in one go?
Are they safe or will Dropbox delete them forever? ...

Thanks for the reply.
I did exit Dropbox on my PC straightaway. I am in the process of manually downloading folders, which is a real pain.
Why? There are so many folders I had to bundle folders together. Then I get a message that the resulting folder is too large to zip. Then I try to move some folders out, but I can't find out how big they are and moving them is very hard as I don't know where I can move them too, other than to another folder.
A very unintuitive experience, all in all.
