How can I list events during a period (from date to date)?

Somebody who can help/explain?

 

I have logged into my free dropbox account and files are missing.

 

I do not know when the files was deleted and by whom (several folders shared).

 

Tried to look at

https://www.dropbox.com/events

 

Here I seems I can look at one date at the time only.

 

How do I select from and to date to list all events in hat period and how far back in time can I search in the events?

 

Grateful for a an answer.

  • Thanks for reply. I somehow expected that.

    Thanks for posting this on our Community, hanspj

     

    Do you remember when was the last time you were able to access those files online? 

     

    If you’re on a free Basic plan, then you should be able to see events up to 30 days ago (and perhaps a few more months back). 

     

    Also, what you mention is correct; at the moment, you can only pick one date. The date you can select is the end date, meaning you can pick a date and see all events prior to that date. 

     

    If you’re still having trouble to see what happened though, let me know.

      Thanks for answer!

      I was afraid of the 30 something days limit.

      This Dropbox is in use, but not more than a few times every year.

      Hence I hoped to go back an review up to 5 years. Possible at all? I can pay to get the log if available.

      One more thing. The pull down calender where you select events date can provide more meaning if dates with events where bold and other days not.

        No, that's not possible. The only data available is what you'll find on the Events page.
