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? I now have no access to live chat...

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!
I continue how it's showing in drop box online the correct amount of data, but in the page ?.drop home?.I just do not the nderstand... Can you help further??.. Should I rewind.?..
The friends is now mine.. It's saved stuff to it. I don't mind that

Hey geoffwales! Thanks for posting on the Community.
If your device is still linked to your Dropbox account and the folder is empty locally, please make sure to disconnect this specific device from Dropbox before doing anything else. Otherwise, you risk having your files deleted from your web account as well, since it’ll look like you deleted them from your desktop app and these changes will sync to our servers.
Also, even if you relink the Dropbox app after that, you’ll most likely receive an error that it can’t sync everything, since you don’t have enough space on your Dropbox account.
If there’s something you need to download urgently, please try using the website, and let me know if you run into any issues.
Hope this clarifies things a bit.
Thanks for the reply.
I did exit Dropbox on my PC straightaway. I am in the process of manually downloading folders, which is a real pain.
Why? There are so many folders I had to bundle folders together. Then I get a message that the resulting folder is too large to zip. Then I try to move some folders out, but I can't find out how big they are and moving them is very hard as I don't know where I can move them too, other than to another folder.
A very unintuitive experience, all in all.
Edit ?? The web??.the computer drive??. Then put files where??. Omg. It looks easy. But it's the folders stuff I don't like at allll!
Help!
I was thinking perfect..for all. But it's not really! I do not know how to do this
Can I have help..and explanation pllleeezz..
