Restoring Large Deleted Folder

Hello everyone

 

Hoping someone can help to advise on our below issue.

 

We are urgently trying to restore a large deleted folder. This folder was accidentally deleted by a colleague Friday June 2nd in the morning, and we have clicked to restore it since Friday afternoon, however it states to still be uploading (currently Monday)

Is there a way to speed up this process, or to know how long it will take?

 

Thank you,

Alice

    Hi Jay,

    Thank you for getting back to me! We managed to get assistance from Dropbox and this is all resolved now.

    It was a bit more complicated, and the folder was 20MB so quite large!

    Hi alice23, thanks for bringing this to our attention.

     

    The restoration of a folder can take time depending on the size of the folder.

     

    How large was the folder that was deleted originally?

     

    This will help me to assist further!
