To prevent team members from permanently deleting files:

  1. Sign in to dropbox.com with your admin credentials.
  2. Click Admin console.
  3. Click Settings.
  4. Click Deletion.
  5. Toggle Delete permanently to Off.

Notes:

  • Even if Delete permanently is set to Off, admins will still be able to permanently delete files if they sign in as a team member.
  • This setting is not integrated with Dropbox Replay.
