Recovering photos from a lost phone
Hi, I'm in desperate need of help. My phone was stolen, so I've lost all of my info and photos. Is it possible to download/sync photos off that phone using Dropbox on another device? The stolen phone is still a connected device, so is there any way to access those photos and get them into Dropbox remotely? Thanks!

Any files you already uploaded to Dropbox would be in your account, but there's no way to retrieve files that weren't already uploaded. Also, I'd highly suggest unlinking the device from your account. If someone has the phone and are able to access the Dropbox app, they'll have access to all of the files in your account.
