Can I retrieve old "Camera Uploads" pictures?

toonb

Hi all,

A good 10 years ago, I used Dropbox as my default back-up for all my pictures taken with smartphone. This must have been 2011-2014. A few years back, I tried looking them up, with no result. I didn't think much of it. But now, since a recent passing, I do want those pictures back.

 

If I log into the account, the "Camera Uploads" folder is completely empty, without even any 'Activity'. Last modified was 7/1/2013 6:20 pm. In 2014, I received an email stating "This is a friendly reminder that your Dropbox is full!". So there must be various things stored in it!

 

This is all I have. Is there any way for me to find out what happend to the content? Or how I would be able to retrieve my pictures?

Hey @toonb, thanks for posting your question today.

 

When was the last time you accessed these photos?

 

Have you been using the same Dropbox account ever since you uploaded them? Perhaps they're in a different account, under a different email address.

 

I'd also suggest taking a look at your events page, to see if you can find any recent events related to those photos.

 

Let me know what you find.
