You might see that the Dropbox Community team have been busy working on some major updates to the Community itself! So, here is some info on what’s changed, what’s staying the same and what you can expect from the Dropbox Community overall.

Files not sharing and not deleting, showing different content on sender and receiver
This week, suddenly out of nowhere, files I upload every week are choosing not to appear on the other party's end. He still sees last week's file even though I had already deleted it. Tried deleting the new file and uploading again, same file with a new name, and he didn't see that either. Still has old files. I asked him to delete everything, he said he did but they're still here on this end. And now after I delete them again again, Dropbox won't let me permanently delete. I've tried rebooting and maintenance, tried sending to another third party email, and that 3p email sees what I send just fine. Could it be on his end? Also tried to explore the "Rewind" option but the site won't go to it.
If I delete the entire folder (it's his account, not mine), can I get it back? Or if I delete my entire account can I get that back?
Sure, same way as always, they're mp3 files of about 120-130 mB, I drag and drop. Usually I rename them once they're in there to keep them distinct from my originals. I did notice the upload hung up on 99% for a long time before it went up, that was the only unusual event. But the other party doesn't see it, he sees the one I loaded a week before and already deleted.

When you drag and drop them, are they into a shared folder on the Dropbox site, or are you using a file request to upload to their account?
