Restore Deleted Files and Folders

Files and folders can be recovered using the Restore feature. This functionality is available for all users.

Once the file/folder has been deleted, an activity will be shown for this action on the Activity page where there will be an option to restore the deleted content.

Restoring Folder Permissions

If you are attempting to restore a deleted folder, you will be presented with a dialog to restore permissions to the folder. Please note that the files will always inherit parent folder permissions irrespective of the preference selected.
