OMG I deleted files a couple of months ago (less than a year) and now I stupidly realize I need them

I have a basic dropbox account and yes, I deleted the folders and said yes permanently delete, and now today, I realize OMG I had these files in my dropbox.  Is there any way at all to recover these ...

Unfortunately, if the files aren't on the deleted files page, or anywhere else on your Dropbox account, then it wouldn't be possible to recover them.

 

I'm sorry I can't be more helpful on this matter. If you have another backup service on your machine, the files might be there.

 

Otherwise, there is other software available on the internet that might be able to recover deleted files on your computer.
