How can I check which files and folders I have uploaded from my computer to Dropbox?
My Dropbox administrator has removed me from Dropbox, so how can I check which files and folders I have uploaded from my computer to Dropbox?
Specifically, the man I was working with on software de...
Thank you for your reply, Jay. It means a lot to me. For uploading, I used the simplest copy-and-paste method from my computer to the Dropbox app. I don't know which method the other person used for uploading, the only thing I know is that he was using dropbox from a macbook app. I have checked the events page and I can't find anything there.

Dropbox StaffWhen you say copy and paste, do you mean pasting into the Dropbox folder, or the Dropbox website?
As you mentioned that the user removed your access, does this mean access to a shared folder? The removal of that shared folder should be visible on the events page, if this is the case.
- Dropbox folder (Dropbox app)
- Yes, access to a shared folder. It is not visible on the events page, he has probably copied the folders to his machine and then removed (deleted) them from Dropbox.

If the files were in a shared folder, and your access was removed from it, then there should be a message about this in the events page.
However, it does mean that it wouldn't be possible to recover the files from the shared folder, since you're no longer a member of it.
Are you certain that there's no other copy of the files on your computer, or even another computer that you haven't used since this happened??
You could use file recovery software to potentially recover any data that was locally stored on your machine.
- I have no idea what he has done, that's why I can't find anything on the event page.
- Sadly, I am aware that I will not be able to recover anything from the shared folder!
- All I want to know is which documents from my computer I've attached to Dropbox.
- I have copies of the crucial files on my computer, and I want to make sure that I haven't shared them. These elements are essential, and without them, it will be difficult for the other person to launch the software independently. (It's not impossible because he has the code, but unfortunately, I don't.)
- I don't need to recover the files because they are already on my computer.Jay, I want to express my deepest gratitude for taking the time and energy to help me. May God bless you and your family. I have decided to let go of that project and start something completely new.
