>I installed dropbox earlier tonight and I allowed it to do a full sync with my local folder. When I checked it out as it was close to finishing I found 2 extra folders in there.
>They are so old I initially didn't even recognize them. Took me a couple of minutes to realize they're a couple of folders with project files from about 6-7 years ago, so extremely old.

- sha666sum 10y agoThat Dropbox retains data far longer than what can be considered reasonable. It's in the headline, of course, but I think that quote highlights the severity of it quite well.
- manigandham 10y agoStated in the thread several times but I had files from 8 years ago appear. All of my devices had been replaced in that time so only Dropbox could have a copy. Definitely concerning that they keep files forever like this, I wonder if it would be caught if this bug didnt happen.
