Dear Folks, 

 

I have deleted all my files after some incident. Now I want all those files back. Any method to recover?
I deleted nearly March 2021.

Unfortunately, since you deleted the files in March 2021, it has been well over 30 or 180 days, so Dropbox's file recovery feature will likely no longer work in your case.

 

However, if you had Dropbox synced to your local device (computer, mobile, etc.), there's a small chance the files may still be recoverable using file recovery software from your local storage.
