Can I see the history of messages sent when I shared files or folders?

Is there any way to get the history of messages that were sent from Dropbox?  I want to revert to previous emails for information.

  • I see now BrigidI - thanks for the clarification!

    These messages are not retrievable from your own end at the moment; I´ll pass your comments along to the team for their consideration.

    In the meantime, you could ask the people you shared those files or folders with to forward you the email(s) they received when you first shared the files/folders in question with them to have a view of the messages you sent when sharing your files (or folders) in the first place.

    I know it's not much, yet I hope it helps to some extent.

    Hey there BrigidI - why don't you try the search function on your email directly? This should help you find any email you've received from us in the past. (I'd also check the spam folder in case your email service provided is blocking some of our domains)

    Should you need anything else please let me know!

      Sorry for the confusion.  I meant is there any way to access previous emails I sent via dropbox.  As it stands, if I send a file/document to someone via dropbox, I can't go back to that email to review what I previously sent.

        I am sorry if I'm being blunt here BrigidI - how are you sharing those files to begin with?

        Were you attaching them in an email, using a shared link or just adding people to shared folders?
