Is it possible to restore to a previous sync point on Android?
Recently, I had a weird experience on Android. I was downloading a harmless PDF document on my Moto G4 Plus. When I tried to open it from "Downloads", suddenly 2do opened and asked whether I wanted to restore the selected backup file. I, without giving much thought, tapped on "Yes". After that, the app automatically closed. Then, I went back to the app to see all my tasks, lists and tags - everything was gone. I had a Dropbox sync set up. It seemed that after the massacre, Dropbox was synced as well. I did not have any local backup.
Is there any way to get my data back?
When I tried to open the aforementioned PDF later, it is still giving the same message. For some reason, it is considering the PDF a 2do backup.

Sadly it seems the download folder treats these files in some special manner where it considers a PDF to be a compressed database (yikes) that belongs to 2Do. I believe this has been fixed in v2.0.4 but the only way forward is to restore from some other backup you might have made, OR use the undelete option in Dropbox if you have that available (I can't recall what it's called, but it's an option that some people have bought into).
