See which user deleted files when viewing deleted files on dropbox.com

dropbox

I've got a Dropbox folder shared with a team. Someone recently deleted all of the children folders by accident, its not an issue as we can restore them back from dropbox.com using their web interface as Dropbox keeps a copy of deleted files for 30 days (indefinitely if you have the packrat add on).

What I want to find is which team member deleted the files, so I can point it out to them so they don't do it again I future, any idea where I can find who deleted the files ?

It should say in the Events feed for that folder which computer or account they were deleted from.

How to download a Dropbox folder someone shared me

There's kind of a workaround. Add

?dl=1

at the end of the link that was shared with you. This will download the entire folder as a neatly zipped archive.

Note: This will not work with folders > 20GB or with more than 10,000 files.

Shared folder user permissions in Dropbox

With Dropbox, to keep things simple, "You can't share a folder that contains a shared folder."

So no. If you have a folder that is shared, all of its contents are then shared.

But yes, with having different access level data in different folders, this would be possible. As you describe, have a shared folder "Main", and another folder "TOP_SECRET".

It's also worth noting, that if you wouldn't care about actual access rights, but only the convenience of what each party has on their computer, this would be possible. You can change include/exclude the folders that are synced to a specific computer by configuring the client on that computer.
