Files missing from folder shared with two others. Can I upgrade to restore?
I am currently on the free plan. All the files from a folder are missing and I am unaware how long they have been missing given they relate to FY23. If I upgrade to Business Plus will I be able to access the restore file feature or did I need to already have that plan in place?
This not looking good is it?
No sorry.
That means the deletion event occurred longer than 6 months ago - which means even if, at the time of deletion, you were a paid user they still wouldn't be recoverable as that's the length of the recovery window.
I'm afraid you'll need to restore from any backups you have.
Hi Mark. Yes, I did however the history only goes back six months with no of activity in that folder. This not looking good is it? 😒

Unfortunately, you needed to have had the plans in place before deletion or a 30 days recovery window applies.
Have you looked at www.dropbox.com/events to see how long ago they were removed?
