Creation of a "Mobile Uploads" folder
We have an instance of Dropbox which is used by multiple people within our private organization. We each have our own personal instances of Dropbox and have been given permission to certain folders ...
Just for your information, version history isn't available on folders, but files. If you had a file in the Mobile Uploads folder, the version history would show from which device the file was uploaded.
Without knowing where it originated from, it wouldn't be possible to tell, however, given the name, most likely a file was uploaded via the Dropbox mobile app and this folder was created.

Dropbox Community ModeratorHi ClarkP, thanks for all the added info!
You should be able to move the FolderX out of your Mobile uploads folder, and that shouldn't impact any members of the folder.
As for your screenshots, what happens when you click the Events button instead of the Activity one? Do you see more info there?
I was able to successfully move "FolderX" out of the "Mobile Uploads" folder and delete the "Mobile Uploads" folder.
My previous screenshots were generated by clicking on the "Events" button. This results in MANY line items. In the screenshots I provided above, I gave you ALL of the items appearing on 22 Jan 2023. The filter settings are shown below (so that any event happening on/before 23 Jan 2023 would be displayed):
Subject to any additional follow-up from you, I view this issue as addressed. However, if you have any ideas as to how I might have unintentionally created this "Mobile Uploads" folder, I would appreciate knowing them so I can avoid this happening in the future.
