I was in the 'Deleted files' folder and permanently deleted the items. When I returned to the main page, all my folders were gone. How can I recover the files from the main page and understand what happened?22Views0likes2CommentsI re-upgraded my account and now my files are gone from my Dropbox folder
Question or Issue Today, on 12/14, I paid for my annual Dropbox Plus subscription ($119.88/year). I then went back to File Explorer, only to find that my Dropbox folders, which were originally syncing there, are now MISSING. WHERE DID MY DROPBOX FOLDERS GO ON MY DESKTOP?? I'm a graduate student wrapping up my Fall semester and cannot find my documents. Unfortunately, Dropbox itself stopped syncing with my MS Surface after September because I missed my annual date to pay and did not realize it. Thus, the documents are not in Dropbox itself. They were, however, stored and updated under Dropbox in File Explorer on my MS Surface. I used Dropbox on the web. I pray that this community can please help me restore my files. I look forward to hearing from someone as soon as possible. Thank you!31Views0likes1CommentWill my paid Dropbox Standard for Teams plan work the same as my free trial?
Question or Issue Hello, i had a trial priod of 30days for the standard plan for Teams. We have added my team, created folder etc.. everything is running fine. and we are happy hence i have updated my billing information too based on the number of licenses we have. What i want to ensure, is will it all remain the same (folders etc) when the trial period ends tomorrow? or do i need to add all the licenses again? i want to ensure there are no hiccups when the trial ends. Thanks. Kindest regards. Anuradhha25Views0likes1CommentCan I restore many files at once?
OK, here goes, looking for a one-in-a-million shot. And thank you very much to anyone who may answer me. I recently deleted almost all my word files in dropbox, through cyber-stupidity. Then I received an email saying I have thirty days to restore them. I eventually figured out that I can bring up "deleted files" and hit restore. But I want to go through hundreds of files to pick out many to restore, and my dropbox will only let me bring up twenty-five files for possible restoration, and will not let me scroll further to find other files to restore. By any chance, does someone out there with a LOT more computer knowledge than I possess, know how I can bring up deleted files and get the list to scroll all the way through the hundreds I have deleted so I can pick out a lot of them to restore? Again, I would be immensely grateful to receive a response. Heck, I'm such a computer dunce, I don't know that I'll be able to find the response if someone does reply to me. But again, thank you all for taking the time to read this note. Dave P.S. I have a Mac Mini.30Views0likes1CommentExport folder of scattered files on Android to access from a third party app
Hello, I'm on Android, trying to access files from a third party app. I can't seem to find the files on the local device even when I have them marked as offline accessible. I see there's a way to export an individual file, but the large number of files I'm trying to have access to are spread through a bunch of folders and I need to keep the folder structure intact, so it's not feasible to manually download each file. Is there a way to get my Dropbox files into a folder that I can access with a third party app somehow? This seems like a pretty basic use case so I'm frustrated I can't seem to find a way to do it.67Views0likes6CommentsHow do I stop files being deleted due to inactivity?
Mark i was gonna ask about the comment u made 2 years ago saying that the content and files in dropbox gets deleted after 12 months of inactivity, how do i stop that? what constitutes inactivity? because i got a warning that my files may be deleted as it exceeded94Views0likes9CommentsI changed my password, and lost my files. And now I can't restore them to a previous version.
Windows 11 on a MSI desktop pc I have the basic Dropbox. I recently changed my gmail password and was prompted to restart Dropbox. I thought it would open my original dropbox with the same name but it seems to have overwritten it and all my files have disappeared. I did a system restore of my pc but that didn't affect Dropbox so tried going into properties and restoring a previous version. Clicking that brings up the files but I'm unable to complete the transfer because the files are "write protected" and I don't know how to disable this. Can you help please?Solved43Views0likes4CommentsCan't choose multiple files
Device Lenovo, iPad pro Operating System/Browser (if using the web) (Windows 11, Question or Issue Dropbox has become my favorite cloud storage. I love it. I love how easy it is to find files.
