If you click the radio button next to a file, and then click the Restore button, the file is restored to its original location, replacing the latest version of the file. In this case, the file does not replace the original file.Ģ. If you click on the blue version number, the file will be immediately downloaded to your browser's downloaded files location. There are two very different ways to restore a version on the Dropbox Web site:ġ. Each time that you save your file, the file gets synced to Dropbox and an archive of the previous version is created. If I right-click on the "2012 Report to members" file and choose View Previous Versions from the context menu, you will see the file and all previous versions listed on the Dropbox Web site.
It contains a report I've been working on for a couple of days. Notice that it contains only a couple of files.not multiple versions. Here I've made a folder in my Dropbox folder named "reports". But no more! Now I let Dropbox take care of all this "versioning" for me, automatically! I would leave behind a trail of sequential versions of my files in case they became corrupt, or in case I changed my mind and wanted to revert, or "roll back" to a previous version. The folder is full of what I call "paranoia saves". In the long dark years before Dropbox, my folders often looked like the screen shot below when working on an important project. I want to delete dropbox but how do I get back my files and pictures and that huge file that the support person deleted and it says i can't get back.One of the best, but most overlooked, Dropbox features is the ability to easily retrieve previous versions of a file, or even deleted files. I am afraid of chatting because they made it worse. I think I turned off dropbox and I thought I had downloaded all of the files but most are still here and I have greyed out pictures and files here and on my computer. I even see here that dropbox took all of my pictures that were in my camera (and then saved on my computer) and put them on their website and anything else I was working on in photoshop etc, was taken.
I am a super realistic artist and all of my reference pictures for future painting (that I spent a fortune to have professional photographers and models) are gone and all of the pictures of my paintings and exhibits are gone. I got an email afterwards, recently, saying that that file is gone and I cannot get it back. I chatted with a couple of support people and got nowhere except for the last time, this person totally screwed up my files and they look nothing like what my dropbox used to look like, the pictures in the files were gone replaced by something else that was not a picture, and deleted a file called "everything". Also, I was getting multiple duplicates using dropbox. I did not want dropbox to take all of my files off of my computer and put it on their website. PLEASE SOMEONE HELP ME! CHATTING WITH SUPPORT MADE IT WORSE.
