Can I ask Dropbox to remove a sensitive file?
I accidentally shared a document with sensitive information to a company using DropBox. Is it possible to ask DropBox to remove the file? Thanks for your help!

The problem is I wasn’t given a link to the file I uploaded….

My apologies dustinrwh!
I thought you were talking about a shared link, but checking again it seems it was a File Request. In this case, I'm afraid there's nothing that we can do, in order to remove the content you've submitted.
- dustinrwh2 years agoExplorer | Level 3Got it. That’s what I was wondering. I’ve asked the company I submitted to to remove the file so I’ll wait to hear back (and pray nothing bad comes of it). Thank you!
