Short Version: Is there a way to just bulk undo the most recent sync of my Dropbox folder? Long Version: I don't use file syncing with Dropbox these days, preferring to manually upload specific files and folders as-needed for collaboration. I don't even have the desktop apps installed anymore. This past week I was cleaning up some clutter and found an old Mac mini, unused for at least five years. I plugged it in and turned it on to make sure it was in a condition suitable for recycling and the very old version of Dropbox that was installed immediately started syncing all of my files from 5+ years ago. So now my Dropbox folder is a mess and my quota is blown. Is there any way to undo this aside from manually sorting through my Dropbox folder? Thanks.42Views0likes3CommentsSupport insists they can't recover my files, but I worked on them a few months ago.
I have repeatedly contacted support regarding missing photos and files I’ve lots of photos including wedding photos missing . They say they were deleted a year ago and not retrievable this is not true as I looked and started to organise them in July this year. I’ve repeatedly asked for this to be escalated to a manager they just ignore my messages . This has been going on since September. I can’t find a phone number or anything to complain . I’ve never known anything so frustrating. I’m fuming where do I go from here . I want my files !! Anyone else had same issues ?40Views1like2CommentsDropbox keeps sorting my files based on when I last accessed them, instead of alphabetically.
Question or Issue In the past year or so Dropbox changed the way my files are listed so instead of opening and searching for files in alphabetical order as I set them up, they are now listed under the month last opened. I did not request this and cannot search this way. How can I stop this? I should add that sometimes my files do appear in normal alphabetical order and other times they appear in this crazy month order. I can’t figure out why it goes one way or the other.Solved80Views0likes6CommentsDropbox deleted my files after 2 years. Is this possible?

Hi, Please can someone help? I'm missing 4 months of information in one of my excel files.

Thanks109Views0likes5CommentsI've lost files and I cannot find them to recover them
Hello, I have lost many very important work files. I cannot see any events in the page events from a certain date. I wonder if it is because I changed my loggin email at a certain point. How can I see all the events from my account? If I manage to find the events, is it possible to recover files before the 30days period for my current free subscription if I upgrade my subscription now? Thank you for your time!154Views0likes7Comments
