Export or download files from the deleted files page

There are some files, currently placed in Deleted Files section. I want to export those files, to download them s a zip file, but withtout restoring them back to their original folders. Any solutions available?

  • Hey Rakshhit_Sharma - thanks for posting on our Community and happy Monday!

     

    I'm afraid you won't be able to export or download files from the deleted files page without restoring them first. 

     

    Let us know if you have any other questions.

      Is there any kind of external method or something else I can do, cause the deleted files are of huge number and big size. 

      restoring and then deleting them again will result in duplicates to manage.

      Hi yahya2, thanks for bringing this to our attention.

       

      Can you find any of the missing files in the events page or the deleted files page to recover them?

       

      What about your sharing tab (in case it was shared content)? 

       

      Keep me updated with any progress!
