Recover files deleted more than 30 days ago

If I migrate to a paid plan, is it possible to recover deleted files for more than 30 days with the free account?

    I am afraid, if the files were deleted when you were on basic/free plan, the deleted files would stay for 30 days. Upgrading to a paid plan later won't affect the length of history retaintion for the files that were previously deleted.
