Delete, edit, and organize
Solve issues with deleting, editing, and organizing files and folders in your Dropbox account with support from the Dropbox Community.
Hi there
I right clicked on a video I put in Dropbox, clicked on Properties and then under 'Attributes' clicked on 'Hidden' (accidentally) and then on 'OK". Now the video is hidden / invisible. I cant see it and I dont know where it is. I dont know how to 'unhide' it or make it visible again.
Does anyone know? Thanks very much in advance
Figured it out:
To HIDE from Photos timeline: select an individual photos from within the Photos app, then select "Exclude from timeline". You are also given an option to exclude the whole folder at that time.
To UNHIDE (or, "un-exclude"): go to /account/profile, and you'll see the folders listed at the bottom.
Hey Rich, Dropbox also has a "hide" feature. Do you know how to unhide those files?
(Dropbox's hide feature is in the Photos app, through the browser, and you go to "..." options for a single file, then choose "Exclude from timeline". At that point all files in that folder are excluded from the Photos timeline. Now I don't know how to bring them back.)
