    Renaming shouldnt do that - have you refreshed the page etc. to look for it? 

     

    Alternatively try going to www.dropbox.com/events and recovering it

    Thank you. I was able to have it resent to me from originator but I would like to be able to rename my files. Do I have to include anything specific the new name or can I name it anything I want? Thanks for your help.

    You can rename anything you want 🙂

     

    Just make sure if you do it on the website to leave the extension (i.e. bit after the fullstop).
