Hello everyone, I am frequently reader of this forum but never had a need ask for anything. At this time I have fallen into despair and I find you as only one who can solve my problem.
Today I have installed Viber app downloaded from official Viber website on my mac running 10.15.3. In the app settings I've changed where I wont my Viber media files to be stored (settings shown in attachment) and I changed it to my downloads folder (like shown on the other setting underneath). When I finished working in the app I deactivated Viber in settings (2nd attachment) and turned off the app. Agony starts when I afterwards tried to access the downloads folder which was empty. Also the trash was empty.
Note: At beginning Viber asked me for downloads, documents, and desktop folder access but I chosen don't allow option.
I see this as major problem as app like Viber was able to delete whole content from downloads folder on a Mac system without any notification and even without files going through trash.
Please help if you have any solution for recovering files and I hope this kind of stuff won't be doable in future. I just feel like betrayed from beloved Apple.
