Can I retrieve the message I sent along with a DropBox link?
I recently sent a link to a DropBox file through the DropBox system. I need to retrieve the message that I sent when I filled in all the fields and sent the link. Is there a way to do that?
No, that's not possible. Dropbox does not retain messages that are sent with share links or shared folder invitations.
The ability to retrieve or at least view the note text after it's sent is something that should be available.

Dropbox StaffThanks for posting your thoughts on this Steve83!
Why not post it on our 'Share an Idea' section so other similar-minded users can find and upvote it too to show their interest?
Here's a direct link for that section if you'd like to log a feature request:

Remember, the more specific and actionable the feedback is, the more we'll be able to get our hands on it.

"Why not post it on our 'Share an Idea' section so other similar-minded users can find and upvote it too to show their interest"? This is an ignorant suggestion, plain and simple. Basic record keeping. WOW. What a unique concept!
