This article describes the process of restoring the deleted files and folders in SecuriSync.

When file or folder is deleted in SecuriSync, it is placed to a Recycle Bin and continue to occupy the disk space. While the item is there, it can be restored.

By default there is no retention period for files stored in a Recycle Bin and user cannot permanently delete files and folders. The account administrator can modify retention policy settings. Read the Knowledge Base article on SecuriSync: Retention Policies.

To view and restore deleted files and folders:

  1. Log in to SecuriSync Web Interface.
  2. Click on Deleted Items.
  3. Navigate to the location where file or folder existed prior the deletion. Deleted files and folders have a distinct grayed out icon.
  4. Click on Restore next to the item you want to restore.

 

Note:

  • When restore deleted folder, it will restore files inside the folder that were active on the time, when the folder has been deleted. Files that have been already deleted at the moment of deletion will remain deleted.
  • After restore operation file or folder will keep the same sharing permissions it had prior the deletion.
  • Actions menu allows a user to permanently delete files and folders from Recycle Bin. If Administrator prohibited permanent deletion to be performed by the user, the option will not appear in actions menu. It can be modified in retention policy settings menu in HostPilot. Read the Knowledge Base article on SecuriSync: Retention Policies.
  • In shared folders, only Users with Owner, Co-owner, and Modify roles can restore deleted files. Only Owner and Co-owner can permanently delete files.
