- Hi Hannah and Mark,
I wanted to let you know that I managed to retrieve the files from the team’s Dropbox. Fortunately, they were willing to return my files, and I now have all 256 GB of data back. Thank you both for your assistance! I truly appreciate the time you dedicated to helping me.
This will be my final message on here until I encounter another issue, though I don’t anticipate that happening anytime soon. Goodbye for now! 🙂

If they were not uploaded to Dropbox, or, not stored on Dropbox they wont have been recovered. The 7 day deadline is irrelevant now - as the account has been restored. That means everything Dropbox had has been recovered.
Can you see the file upload at www.dropbox.com/events ?
Hi
@Mark,
I’ve checked the events tab and unfortunately, I can’t seem to find the file there. It’s possible that the files might be stored in the team’s Dropbox? The thought that they might be lost is quite disheartening.

No, unless you uploaded them actively to another account they wont have uploaded to the Team.
Have you done a search on the computer to see if they are hidden anywhere as it sounds like you were using Dropbox backup?
- Yeah, around 200 GB of storage space got away after losing the files. Also when I attempt to restore items from the recycle bin (recycled before the files got deleted), I receive an ‘items not found’ error message. I’ve also searched for these items and maps but was unable to locate them.
