View prior contents of enclosing folders

At this time, there's no such feature that would help track this info, no.

You can take a look at Emma's post here, though, and then post your own idea for other users to up-vote!

So there is no way of seeing the contents of a folder at a point of time in the past. Correct?

Is there a way to see the locations of a file over time?

Thank you for the help.

Thanks for that, norm3.

Both the version history and file activity are features that are available on a file level, not a folder level.

I will, however, pass your feedback along to our team about this.

If there's anything else we can do, let us know.

Here you go from this beginner:

Again I'm trying to view past versions of a folder not a file so I'm replacing file with folder in the instructions you included for Activity.

Don't know how to open a Preview of the folder

Don't find Folders in the top-left corner.

So I don't get off the dime.

Thanks very much for the help on this very basic mission. 

What exactly is troubling you norm3? Are you having an issue with a specific step or process? 

I can't figure out how to use the activity tracking link. I guess I'm Dropbox challenged.

The instructions don't make sense to me. Is there something more detailed or written by someone else?

Thanks for the help.

No worries norm3 - thanks for the clarification and please let us know if anything else comes up. 

I'm talking about folders.

Thanks for those links. I'll  take a look.

Hi there norm3 - thanks for using Dropbox and posting on our Community!

If you're referring to files and not folders, I'd assume you're referring to the version history feature - correct me if I'm wrong please.

As for any changes to your folders, you can take a look at your events page or the file activity too. 

I hope this helps!
