> If I explicitly delete a file I might explicitly want it gone within the stated window and no later and would therefore be unhappy if I found the data still available Very few (if any) users who explicitly delete a file want that file recoverable within 30 days but not after that. They either want the file recoverable for a much longer period of time or they want the deleted file to be irrecoverable immediately. For the latter option, Dropbox offers the ability to "permanently delete" files. It requires at least four clicks to accomplish, displays a warning, and is driven entirely via the website rather than through the Dropbox client.
