You might see that the Dropbox Community team have been busy working on some major updates to the Community itself! So, here is some info on what’s changed, what’s staying the same and what you can expect from the Dropbox Community overall.

Shared folder missing/deleted, how can I get it back?
I have a shared folder with aprox. 8 persons. I have a dropbox plus account.
The shared folder has been deleted from my dropbox and we don't know how that happened.
The folder does not show in the 'deleted files' section in the online dropbox website.
How can i retrieve/restore the shared folder?
EDIT: in the events section is see that 'I removed my access to the shared folder'.
I dont recall this and the question is, how can i restore access?
All team members who had access to the same folder have the exact notification in the events section, at the same time.

Hi @vandermark1977, thanks for bringing this to our attention.
The event you mentioned means that you, or someone else with editing rights, removed you from the folder entirely, and that you can't join the folder again from this page.
This means that you'd need to contact the owner of the shared folder to invite you back to the folder.
If you need any further assistance, please let me know.
- We all have the same event, including the owner of the folder. That is the strange thing.

Was the shared folder moved into another shared folder, or, if you're on a Dropbox team, into a team folder?
Does the owner still see the folder as a private folder on their account?
