Is there a quicker way to narrow the Dropbox Rewind's date/time span down?

Strahan

Hi!

I rebuilt one of my servers and installed Dropbox pointed it to the D: drive. I forgot I already had an old Dropbox data folder there. I was reading Reddit and it occurred to me that my hard drive was chugging quite a bit. Opened Resource Monitor and saw Dropbox was at the top of the heap. So I opened Dropbox; 22,5xx files to sync! When I realized what was happening, I shut down everything.

However, it was going for awhile so now I have junk all over the place. I want to roll my folder back to before I installed Dropbox, which would be about 30-60 minutes ago. So I go to the folder activity and hit the rewind. I get this:

I've been hitting page down and clicking "Show older history" fooooorrrreeeevvveeerrr yet I've only gone like 2 minutes worth of history.

This is PAINFUL. Pleeeeease tell me there is some way I can jump to a certain time? Like punch in 8:00 PM or something?

Thanks!

Hi there @Strahan - sorry to hear you're having issues with this.

Since this was caused when you rebuilt your server, there must be a load of folder activity that keeps you from scrolling faster to reach the point you'd like your folder to be rewound.

In this case, I'd suggest reaching out to our support team directly since they'd be better equipped to help with your request at this time.

Let me know if you have anything else to add or ask in the meantime.
