Delete, edit, and organize
Solve issues with deleting, editing, and organizing files and folders in your Dropbox account with support from the Dropbox Community.
My desktops toolbar sync history shows a large amount of files and folders were recently deleted and are now missing from my desktops Dropbox folder. I did not manually delete or move any of these files from Dropbox myself.
I logged onto dropbox.com to search the deleted files and there is no history of these files being deleted on dropbox.com. I've also tried the rewind of all my folders that still exist to the date where everything else was deleted and it did not recover anything. Has anyone else experienced this and can offer me solution to get the missing files back? The files disappeared 15 days ago.
Just figured this out. I went to Admin Console > Content and and found the missing folders and files. I had to reshare the missing folder with dropbox and it popped back up in my desktop files.
