Hi Tutaalin, let's jump right into this!
Since the files aren't in the deleted files page, can you check your events page?
The Events page at www.dropbox.com/events gives you an overview of all activity in your account including files events (adds/edits/deletes), as well as adding or removing shared folders.
You should be able to click on the blue hyperlink of the deletion, and restore them. Let me know the results. Thanks!

I have a similar issue - about 3 hours ago received an alert saying all folders in the Team Folder in our Business Dropbox account were mass deleted. Am unable to see them in the deleted folder or anywhere. Please assist to recover. Unfortunately seems there is no support from Dropbox.
We got an alert for Mass Deletion from our Team Folder in our Business DropBox account. No one from our office deleted the files and we can see the event in the events log but no link to restore it. Please help.

Hi Forwardair, are they shared folders that were deleted? Are they visible on the the shared folders page?
Have you already been in contact with the support team, as you mentioned you're on a Business plan?
I am unable to send an email as it is asking me for a link and the events log does not have a link to the event where all the files got deleted. I have a screenshot of the event log.

It seems you were removed from the folder as a member, given the message in the activity log.
If you're the admin of a Dropbox Business team on the Advanced plan, you can sign in as that user and see if they still have the folder on their account, and re-invite yourself to the folder.
If not, you can contact that user directly via your own methods to re-invite you again.
