Hello, I have discovered a folder in my Dropbox entitled 'Camera Uploads' which is full of hundreds of photos and videos that are not mine. The files are dated from August 2012-November 2013 (whic...

I have the same problem. It's going to take hours to delete all these files!
Is it possible they're coming from web pages I've been on momentarily, or perhaps from a web design process? Many of the images look like design elements.
I did have a really old password and just changed it, deleted old devices and apps. I'm not sure what else to check.

Hi Hannah,
I was away and only given a few days to respond to the request before Dropbox closed it and marked it as solved. Please could you resend it.
Thanks,

Hey Natmonster, not a problem, I just sent you another email, so please make sure to get back to me, when you have a moment.

It happened again - I was sent an email which requested my approval on Friday evening. I didn't check my emails over the weekend and the request was closed today with no recurse to reopen. Why such a short window to reply?

Natmonster, I also checked your latest email and it looks like it’s still open.
Can you please have a look again and reply back to Hannah before it automatically closes?
- Natmonster3 years agoHelpful | Level 7Okay, I have now replied to Hannah, even though the email thread says it's been 'marked as solved' (on the other permission email, when I click on the 'give permission link' says the link is invalid).
