Really old deleted files

Is there anyway, even by payment, to receive all the deleted files you have ever deleted.
It can go back to *2 years…

Thanks

Hi lievenvdm, let's jump right into this!

I'm afraid the answer to that is: no.

Even if you were to pay for a subscription, the version history of the files isn't retroactive.

I hope this helps!
