    What about if you view the version history of one of the deleted files after you restore it. Does it show the device name there when you hover over the Desktop wording?

    Hi kleep, thanks for bringing this to our attention.

     

    If you're viewing the devices page from the Dropbox site on a desktop browser, you can hover your mouse over the i icon which will show the IP address, version number, and the current OS it's running.

     

    If you have any further queries, feel free to message back.

        Could you attach a screenshot showing the devices page on the desktop version of the site?
