How to recover or restore deleted files or folders in Dropbox
Updated Feb 08, 2024
To restore deleted files or folders:
- Log in to dropbox.com.
- Click Deleted files in the left sidebar.
- Click on the name of the deleted file or folder you want to recover.
- You can select multiple files or folders at once by clicking the checkbox icon.
- Click Restore.
- Note: Restorations can take time if you’re restoring a large number of files.
Note: You can restore a shared file only if you have Can edit access to it. If you have Can view access to a shared file, you won’t be able to restore it.
Learn more about version history for details about your plan.
Important: Standard file recovery periods and options don’t apply to files deleted directly from the Send and track feature. Deleting a file from Send and track is permanent, and any associated metadata or data analytics can’t be recovered once the file is deleted.
If your files are missing or you have a large number of files to recover
