I recent had many files deleted due to a Windows Chkdsk finding and repairing some disc errors. However, when looking under "Deleted files" or "Events" on Dropbox, in most cases only the main folder path is shown and not the sub-folders the files were actually located in. This made it near impossible to identify files.
My suggestion is that the full file path (at least from the main Dropbox folder) is available for any deleted files so that they may be identified correctly.
Taking another example...
Supposing I had two (or more) large folders with sub folders in the same main folder and accidentally deleted both but needed to keep one. As things stand, both would be listed as having been in the same location (the main folder) and it would be impossible to find all the correct files to restore.

Thanks for submitting your idea!
I agree, having the file path down to the sub folder makes a lot of sense, let's open this up to voting.
Hopefully this gets enough support from the rest of the community!
