Dropbox is a application which keeps track of all file and makes the changes automatically,it gives you options to restore a previous version of the file,and therefore it is also possible to restore deleted files as well.It is a pretty interesting feature, Especially for users who have accidentally deleted files, and users who want to make sure that deleted files cannot be recovered. A recoverable copy on the Dropbox server is the last thing those users would want.

While I was investigating the application I noticed that Dropbox subtracts the file size of deleted files from the available ratio. This basically means that you get additional upload space even though the files are still stored on Dropbox. Remember, deleted files do not get deleted right away.The Dropbox states that deleted files and old file versions are saved for 30 days by the service before they are removed.

It is also possible to restore deleted files to get beyond the allowed quota of an account. Turned out that this is actually possible as well.First Go to the Dropbox website and log into your account there. Switch over to Files to see all your files currently stored on Dropbox. Activate the show deleted files button to display deleted files and folders in the file listing. These are highlighted in grey, and the size says deleted instead of the real file size.

The idea is this. You upload files as usually to Dropbox. Once you come near the quote you start deleting files.But the files are still there. Your quote drops again and you can upload more files to Dropbox. You can later on restore deleted files which can move you over your Dropbox quote.

There are two options to upload more files to Dropbox than your quote allows. Delete files temporarily to reduce the storage quota and Recover the files again at a later time to store files over the quota.Please note that deleted files won’t be synchronized, and that no new file versions will be saved by Dropbox
