Dropbox Deleted Files from a shared link
Hello everybody!
I had a bunch of photos and videos on this account (aprox. 200). The photos were probably about 3-4 years old, and i would occasionally access them. Today when i wanted to see them...
- If the files aren't visible on the account, and not in the events page or deleted files item, then it wouldn't be possible to recover them at this point since the recover period of 30 days would have expired.
I'm sorry to be the bearer of bad news.

Any ideas on how my files were deleted, or any suggestion on how to recover them would be appreciated. Thanks!
Dropbox doesn't delete your files like that. If your account was idle for more than a year, the entire account would be deleted due to inactivity, but it wouldn't delete just a subset of files within the account.
You can use the Events page to see what happened to your files. If they were deleted within the last 30 days, you can recover the files.
- First of all, thank you for the reply.
Unfortunately on the events page i get the message :"You have no activity yet". The deleted files folder is empty aswell.
I actually have some links that i have shared with some friends:

On all of the links i get the message, This item was deleted. I am 100% sure that i have not deleted my files, and i would never have a reason to do it.
The fact that they just disappeared is a bit frustrating.
