Select All Function in Deleted Files Page

My DropBox is facing an issue where thousands of files are being deleted. Restoring these files would be much easier if there was the ability to select all files. Regardless of my situation, this function would make sense.

I have tried Command + A on the webpage but this does not work. If the ability is there can you please explain

Hey @Brad T.2 - thanks for using Dropbox and posting on our Community!
 

Can you please let me know if the Dropbox Rewind feature would work for what you had in mind? Also, have you tried restoring from the events page instead of the deleted files page?

Let us know more and we'll take it from there.

Hi @Walter 

Thank you for getting back to me.  I looked at both Rewind and Events and while they are great, they couldn't help me. I was running a third-party sync app, and while I slept, it deleted 14,000 files and folders from Dropbox over 10 hours. All files and folders were from random locations within the file tree, so as you can see, both of your recommendations would not have helped. 

Having a Select All within the Deleted Files folder would be a great addition, as it was time-consuming to select everything individually.

Thank you

hello all

I only could support the request for implementing the function "Select All entries at once in Deleted Files Page". Imagine you have tens, worse hundreds, of deleted files you want to get rid of them... A herculen work! And I wonder, the "normal" function "Select All at once" does exist for a user created folder, why not for the Deleted Files folder ??
