Hopefully a Dropboxer will notice this shortly :)

You need to contact Dropbox support to ask for help: www.dropbox.com/support.

Nambucca wrote:This not looking good is it? No sorry. That means the deletion event occurred longer than 6 months ago - which means even if, at the time of deletion, you were a paid user they still wouldn't be recoverable as that's the length of the recovery window. I'm afraid you'll need to restore from any backups you…

Nambucca wrote:If I upgrade to Business Plus will I be able to access the restore file feature or did I need to already have that plan in place? Unfortunately, you needed to have had the plans in place before deletion or a 30 days recovery window applies. Have you looked at www.dropbox.com/events to see how long ago they…

Are the files still on www.dropbox.com/home ? What happens if you change the files to 'Available Offline' ?

The team are good and will hopefully spot this soon :)

RobertL39 wrote:None of the possible causes in the "Help" article, like spam, copyright, bandwidth etc, apply One of them will - even if a false positive. Most likely a copyright / virus / malware flag on a file. You need to log a ticket with support via www.dropbox.com/support and ask for help.

Unless, if you are still logged in on your desktop you log one via that and reference one of the other tickets (closing duplicates as Rich said).

Hi Unfortunately this isnt how Backup works. It doesn't create commonality between folders on different devices, that isn't something Dropbox has ever done. It simply moves things in to the \Dropbox directory to sync them. You can follow https://help.dropbox.com/organize/dropbox-backup to stop backing up your folders,…

Hi Just so we are on same page here is the issue that you moved from iCloud to Dropbox but they didn't all transfer from iCloud correctly? If so you need to speak to Apple support to see if they can help. If you moved them on a computer have you checked to see if they are in the Dropbox folder but maybe haven't sync'd to…

The official Dropbox app only uploads things on your camera roll, but, third party ones (which is what Samsung Folds sounds like) may do other things.

What exactly is the program you are using to upload? Im not aware of an official Dropbox app called Dropbox Lite. Do you have a link or anything?

Dvan wrote:If you look at my latest screenshot of the file properties above, you can see that the files are located in Dropbox as per the location. They may be in the Dropbox directory, but OneDrive is syncing and controlling them - that often happens if you try and sync the same directories twice, or, OneDrive has its…

Dvan wrote:The files are not 0 bytes, I have also attached a screenshot of what is visible from my desktop. The issue, I think, is that everything has been moved to under the deleted team account. That screenshot really helps, however, those images show that the files are not in Dropbox but are actually stored in OneDrive…

jaaayveee wrote:The other user above said I was given "multiple warnings over many many months." But that is many months - you had three months worth of warnings that it was happening. It is also then nearly 5 months since that last email was sent before you have noticed and contacted support - even on a paid business…

Unfortunately it isnt possible to recover a deleted account and the data is, as the email said, also unrecoverable.

Alex Hill wrote:but theyr're still accessible through the shared view only link with the file saying my account isn't the file owner. That means you didnt upload and share it in first place. The file links couldn't work if they were not in your account. www.dropbox.com/events may give a clue as to what happened. You are…

I have to say I've never ever had issues with file uploads, the only issues I've had is that people cannot sometimes work out how to upload. The other thing is that they sometimes fail if the files are very large or there internet is not the best. I have a set of file uploads that I created years ago and still work fine.

To add to what Rich says, I do exactly the same thing, however, just a word of warning when doing it Dropbox will show you leaving/deleting and adding shared folders etc. Dont panic and just let it do it and all will work out :)

my2ndaccount wrote:i know the password to my account, but is there a way to email a login code to enter like what my bank does? You told Dropbox to not give access to your account without the codes. Therefore that's what they do - they've also said the same on here previously. You can try asking Dropbox Support at…

my2ndaccount wrote:I never saved my emergency codes Oh dear :( It does tell you the reasons why you should save them and also makes you confirm you do before its set up. When I used Google Authenticator, it always moved everything as long as I was logged in to Google. Have you checked log-on etc.? I use 1Password now and…

SirPreiss wrote:Hey Jay. Yes, I can see the files on the events page. Some of the subfolders have been recovered but none of the files previously stored in these folders. Once you restored the folders can you go in and see deleted files within those folders and restore that way? Out of interest how much free quota do you…

You need to use the emergencty backup codes you were given when setting up the 2FA security. Without those its not possible to regain access. Then…

Was the account deleted for inactivity? If so that's not recoverable I'm afraid. As the email says once they are removed they are removed - you are given multiple warnings over many many months. See the explanations here: https://help.dropbox.com/account-access/delete-account People who have had recovered accounts are…

Is your Dropbox located on an internal drive with no symlinks or junctions? Time and date correct and matching whats at www.dropbox.com/home ?
