        JoseOrganista the only other option is doing it one by one, or, upgrading for a single month to access that rollback feature.

    Hi there,

    My laptop was recently hit by Ransomware and this affected a significant number of files/ folders in my Dropbox desktop application. I am using Dropbox Basic so I am unable to use the Rewind feature. I am aware that I could manually restore previous file versions but would it be possible for an administrator to rewind all of my files & folders to before the Ransomware attack?

    Thanks so much for your help

      Hi amemo369 

       

      Unfortunately not - rewind is a paid for only feature (as is the ability to log tickets and request it is done). Maybe upgrade for a single month to get it done?
