Hi Moritz44
Unfortunately not. Rewind is simply a way of restoring files/folders to how they were quickly. It uses the same restore timescales and options as the plans people are on.
If you deleted it over 30 days ago (assuming you are a free user) its not possible to recover now via Dropbox 😞

- Moritz442 years agoExplorer | Level 4Thanks Mark for your help.
The concerning Dropbox Account is premium. Does this change anything?
Would it be possible to safe the whole Dropbox, do rewind, and then grab the file and reload the data?
Thank you in advance!- Rich2 years agoSuper User II

Basic (free), Plus and Family accounts have 30 days of file recovery, while Professional and Business Standard plans have 180 days, and Business Advanced plans have 365 days. Typically though, if the file is no longer in Deleted Files, it's been deleted permanently and cannot be recovered. Note that upgrading to a higher plan now will not help.
- BruAllNei2 years agoExplorer | Level 3I am a Free account user with 1 shared full access user. I just discovered that the shared access user maliciously deleted a massive amount of my data (dozens of folders). Is there a way to get the data back?

Sorry to hear about this, BruAllNei.
Were you the owner/creator of this shared folder?
Do you see the deleted files in your deleted files page?
What does your events page say about the deletions?

I don't see an "Events" page or any history of the deletions - apparently the one person who had the shared access removed his access to my account after permanently deleting my folders (I had used over 95% the amount of data one gets with the Free account, now I have over 95% available)...
