  1. Click Drive on the left hand panel.

  1. Click Drive on the left hand panel.
  2. Open the folder that you want to rewind.
  3. Click the Rewind button at the top of the screen.

Your deleted files will be restored to the folder. No files that have been added since that Rewind date will be removed; Rewind never deletes data.

Notes

  • 30 days of data is stored for all accounts. Once you upgrade to a paid plan, we will start to store your data for longer (depending on the plan you purchase) so that in the future you can rewind up to 180 days.
  • Rewind can’t be used in MEGA Lite.
  • Rewinding multiple big folders at the same time could take a significant amount of time, so it is recommended to rewind one folder at a time.
  • If any of your rewind data is subject to a copyright takedown or administrative action, it may not all be able to be recovered.
  • To recover files deleted more than 180 days before you will have to contact support.
