To restore deleted files or folders:

1. Sign in to dropbox.com.
2. Click Deleted files in the left sidebar.
3. Click on the name of the deleted file or folder you want to recover.
   • You can select multiple files or folders at once by clicking the checkbox icon
4. Click Restore. Restorations can take time if you’re restoring a large number of files.
