    Hi mattelgood 

    Have you checked www.dropbox.com/events to see if the file uploaded on the Friday before you shut down? It can take a few seconds to sync and update. The other thing to check is was Dropbox running?

Hi, the version within "events" was the one from 09/13 that I was after. I downloaded it to my desktop and locally overwrote the one from 5th June. Life saver! Many thanks, Brilliant!

Hi mattelgood , I am glad to see you got access the version of the spreadsheet you were looking for using Dropbox Rewind. 

It's a great feature and can really be a lifesaver (I know this from my own experience 🤓). 

But separately to that, I'd personally love to learn more about how you use Dropbox overall, if you have any interest in sharing? I'm curious to hear about people's workflows, maybe I can find some helpful tips or tricks to share with you to make you daily workflow even easier with Dropbox. 

Hope to chat soon,
