Deleted Backup Files not able to be restored
I have all my photos and lightroom catalogue that has disappeared from my external hard drive, but are in deleted folders in my backup of the external hard drive to dropbox. When I open the deleted folder and choose to restore all files, a small red error message with 'there was a problem completing this request' pops up and nothing further happens.
Please help as I am desperate to access and restore all my photos. Thank you

Thanks for posting on the forum, DeSandoPhoto!
Have you tried restoring these files via a different browser? Does the same error appear then?
Can you restore a couple of them individually, and if this doesn't work try via your Events page instead?
If none of this resolves the issue, please send me a screenshot of the error you’re receiving.
Keep me in the loop.
Hello Nancy,
I have tried a different browser and it still does the same thing. When I open the deleted files and ask for all folders to be restored I get the error message on the screenshot attached. This comes up in other browsers too. Can all my deleted files be restored please. I would never have deleted them!
I have also tried the events page but there is nothing relating to these files being deleted on there.

Hey DeSandoPhoto, did you find these folders by using the "show deleted files" option?
If so, can you try the deleted files page instead and let me know if you can see and restore them from there?
