How to recover a shared folder deleted by the owner?

Question

Hi,

Is there a way to restore the file without the owner noticing?

The situation ended up with the owner badly and the owner unilaterally deleted me from the folder without any notification.

I can see the deleted folder in my Dropbox and there is a "rejoin" button. I was wondering if clicking this button will send the alert to the owner.

Or please let me know any other way to restore my file without the owner noticing.

Thank you very much!

Hi @Jasmine28

Yes, clicking that will alert the owner - although it will depend upon if they are logged in etc. They wont get an email but will get notifications on screen/mobile devices.

There is no other way of getting data in a shared restored without rejoining it. Its also worth pointing out that the owner could have deleted everything in the share and if so it is not possible to recover from your end.
