    Hi Carine,

    Welcome to the Box Community! 

    Is the content in your trash? Are you the owner or deleter of this content? When a file is deleted, both the person who deleted the item and the owner of the item will be able to retrieve it from their trash. The Trash is located under Bin-- you can also review this article for more details on this process: 
    Is the content in another user's trash?If the files aren’t in your personal trash, they might be in the trash of the person who deleted or owned the files.
    If you know who deleted or owned this content, please contact this user and instruct them to restore the files from their trash.
    I still can't find my files. If you still can't find your files, then one of the following might be true:
    • Was the folder a shared folder in which you collaborated with others? If so, the owner of the folder could have removed your access to the content. In this case you’ll need to contact the folder owner and ask to be re-invited.This person will need to re-invite you to the folder using the email address associated with your Box Account.
    • The files in question have been already emptied from the trash. Trash content on Box can be manually or automatically removed, depending on the settings for your enterprise. 
    • The files you’re looking for were never uploaded to Box.com. The content in question could have been uploaded to a different Box account or service, or a problem might have occurred during the upload, resulting in these files not making it to your account as expected.
    Please Note: When Box purges your trashed content there is still a 14-day grace period for paying customers, during which Product Support can recover your content.  Beyond this 14-day grace period, however, files or folders purged from your Box trash may not be recoverable and may be lost forever. Please note that this recovery grace period does not apply to Free accounts. We are unable to support file recovery for our Free Individual plan. 
     
     
    Hope this helps. 
     
    Best,

    It is NOT IN THE TRASH -  where is it???

     

    This is urgent and I can't find any links anywhere to contact support 

     

    This is an outrageously bad website for finding any support email.
