Dropbox Deleted Files from a shared link
Hello everybody!
I had a bunch of photos and videos on this account (aprox. 200). The photos were probably about 3-4 years old, and i would occasionally access them. Today when i wanted to see them...

4 years agoHi SpacBogdan97, were these files located in a shared folder that another user could have access to?
When was the last time you access the shared link, was it over 30 days?

Hello Jay!
The photos were located on my dropbox. I have only used the share with a link option for some photos. The photos were shared on 05/08/2020, but the last time i have accesed them was about 5 months ago.
