Hey Rich,

Thanks for your support. But regarding Dave: He is definitely not a member of the shared folder. But one of our band members gave his girlfriend **Read access** to the folder, years ago.
On the other hand: Would he be able to delete the folder contents with a link?
And if so: Is there any chance of getting the folder back?

Hey Alexander-1973, for someone to be able to delete files off of a shared folder, they must be a member.

If you see the files in your events page, you should be able to restore them from your deleted files page.

Also, if you click on the "share" button next to the folder on dropbox.com and then on "who can access", you'll see all the members; do you see this person?
