Downgraded Dropbox to basic and accidentally deleted entire Dropbox folder from my D Drive
I thought it was a full backup, not the actual folder. I see all the files (580GB) on Dropbox online. Can I download the whole lot in one go?
Are they safe or will Dropbox delete them forever? ...

Hey there, Dondon1975, I hope you're doing well!
If I understand the situation correctly, it sounds like you had connected your Dropbox account on a friend's device, and enabled Backup there.
Is that right? If not, feel free to clarify more about this.
You should be able to disable the feature using your Backup page online. Can you try, and let me know if you come across any issues?
Keep me posted, and we'll take it from there!
