Can I find old Dropbox Transfer links that were Shared

I'm looking for a file from 2022 that was shared out as a Transfer link and has now expired – is there a way to retrieve this file somewhere in the Dropbox ecosystem?

Hi kimhold, thanks for contacting us!

 

Is this Transfer link one that you created, or from someone else?

 

Did you download the file to your machine, or add it to your own Dropbox account?

 

This will help me to assist further!

    Hi there, it's one I created and shared out. I've misplaced the root file and could not come across it in my Dropbox or deleted files. Thanks!

      Is there any record of the file on the events page?

       

      What about if you search for the file itself on your account?

        Looks like the events page only goes back to March 2023. I did search the file and didn't come across it.
