Show path on recently deleted items.

I get these emails, "You recently deleted 5997 files from your Dropbox account.". Since I dont remember deleting anything I try to figure out what it was.

When clicking See deleted files I get this:

System.Runtime.Extensions.dl Deleted 17.62KB
System.Runtime.InteropServices.dll Deleted 89.12KB
System.Runtime.CompilerServices.Unsafe.dll Deleted 15.12KB
System.Reflection.Extensions.dll Deleted 15.12KB
System.Reflection.Emit.dll Deleted 39.17KB
System.Resources.Writer.dll Deleted 17.12KB
System.Runtime.CompilerServices.VisualC.dll Deleted 17.62KB
System.Reflection.TypeExtensions.dll Deleted 20.17KB

It's impossible to know what was deleted. Would be amazing if you could provide a path as well.

Then I could see what the hell has been deleted. Now it's impossible.

    I strongly agree that Dropbox should consider adding full path visibility for deleted files directly within the UI and email alerts.

    Hey Schmoranz! Thanks for your post.

    First off, can you send me a screenshot of what you see exactly, after clicking on the “See deleted files” option? 

    Other than that, please go to your Events page here, and let me know if you can see which files have been deleted from your Dropbox account exactly.

    Keep me posted for any updates.

    Hi again, Schmoranz, and sorry for the nudge! I was just wondering if you’ve seen my previous post.
