HELP: Deleted Folder Cannot be 'Rejoined' or 'Restored'
We have a folder that was deleted (we're not sure how), and now it cannot be rejoined or restored. I'm a musician and it has 4 years worth of album artwork, music, and liner notes in it. It's a heart...

Super User IIAnd also from a practical point of view now - where are the backups of your data? Dropbox itself isnt a backup tool and never ever has been/or should be counted as one (note: they now have a backup tool/product BUT that works totally separate to sync and so can be counted). The rules of backup are to have the data saved/stored in multiple places, so, have you got that in place? Can you restore/recover? Having it just in one place - regardless of if thats Dropbox (or iCloud or OneDrive or Box etc.) isnt good 😞
You're so right. I have learned this lesson the hard way. My heart is seriously broken. Four years of work. It makes me feel sick.
In any event, I have a 12TB G-drive on order to back-up everything. Dropbox is pretty awful, though. I do think they could at least provide us with the email of the person they're saying owns the folder. Then we can Sherlock Holmes our way to a solution. Because that email will have to be someone in the organization, seeing as for security purposes, I've never let anyone else on the drive.
Anyway, you're awesome. Thank you.
