Mass Deletion - Alert page, File Activity log, and admin Content view need more information

Trying to undo a mistaken Team Folder move outside of Dropbox, in a Team account.

 

- There is an alert at https://www.dropbox.com/team/admin/security/alerts/ which lists the affected folders, their size, and number of files, and the date of deletion. However, there's no way to see the containing folder path (mouseover the folder for a tooltip would be nice), and clicking the folder name/icon should go to the containing folder under https://www.dropbox.com/team/admin/team_folders/home/ in order to restore the file. Instead the only action option on this page is "Check team activity to see all files". The blue Restore button just goes to the same view, instead of providing the ability to undo the entire action.

 

- The Activity view at https://www.dropbox.com/team/admin/activity does provide path tooltips for some activities, but for the Activity type "Removed user/group from shared file/folder" or "Deleted shared folder from Dropbox", does not provide the containing path. An export of the log also does not. This makes locating the folders to restore more difficult.

 

- The admin Content page https://www.dropbox.com/team/admin/content/home is effectively a file browser, but quite limited even compared to the default Dropbox file view. Especially, there is no Date Modified, and viewing the Deleted Files, there's no Date Deleted which would be very helpful.
