Need to download a expired Dropbox Transfer file
How can I retreive expired files I shared to someone else with Dropbox Transfer?
Thanks!

Hi PatrickMast - welcome to our Community!
If your transfer has expired, you'll be able to find the files you shared with other, in their original locations.
This means that they should be on your computer from which you initiated the transfer from or in your account online if you transfered files that were already within your Dropbox account.
I hope this points you towards the right direction and please let me know if you have any more questions Patrick; I'll be happy to follow up.
Happy Monday :coffee:

Hey Walter,
We used to use Droplr to transfer files. They DO keep the transferred files available for you. I think Dropbox should do the same. :innocent:
The upside of the cloud service to keep your file is, you can safely delete or forget about the files you send. Files are "safe" and "available" in the cloud.
Sorry to see Dropbox Transfer does not do the same.
