Unable to recover a deleted folder

Unable to recover a deleted folder

Hi All,

 

Somehow one of the folders on my dropbox account has been deleted. I found it in the place where deleted folders and files are stored. Now when I am trying to restore it by clicking button "Re-add shared folder" it just gives a message as shown below

It also says that I do not have access to the folder

Could someone let me know how to recover this folder?

 

Thank you.

 

Best Regards,

Vishal

It seems to have been a shared folder that you were removed from. You might be able to add it back to your account if it's listed on your Share page. If not, you would need to contact the owner of the folder and ask to be re-invited to it.
