    Hey @rh2284, thanks for posting your question to the Dropbox Community.

     

    I'm afraid that if the file was deleted more than 30 days ago, it cannot be recovered.

     

    If you'd like us to take a closer look, by providing specific info pertaining to this file, I can send you an email.

     

    Let me know.

        We can actually only email you to the address associated with your Community profile, which can be found here.

         

        I can see that it's a different one; is the file missing from the account you're reaching out from or a different one, under the address you gave me above?
