In Connections Cloud communities. create a folder, and add some files.
Then "accidentally" delete the folder. -> there is no listing of a Folder in the Files Trash section so the Client assumes the data is lost.The files are still listed in the FIles section, so the workaround is to create a folder again and manually add in the files that were in the original Folder. This is impractical where a Community has 1,000's of Files...
All files are listed in the Files section, however organizing them into folders doesn't move them from the Files listing, but rather links them to a folder. So deleting a folder doesn't delete the file contents. While this is counter intuitive your data should still be listed in the Files listing.
To rectify this you will simply need to create the Folder again and find the files among the Files listing that were in (linked to) the deleted Folder and add them to the Folder. I understand this is somewhat or a design issue, and can be impractical where an organization may have thousands of files in the Files listing so I have created an enhancement request for this.
Thank you for writing such a nice blog with useful information. I hope you will share some more info.
It is also URGENTLY needed for Connections On Premise (MS Desktop Plugin and Web)
Thanks for the nice blog. digitaliserad.nu
Wow what a nice content you have shared.We need this for the files app within communities
Instructions for the method: find and select the folder where the deleted files were stored and right-click on it. Click “Properties”, then click the “Restore previous version” button. Windows will write down the previous versions of permanently deleted files.
Is the Feature now integrated? I think not. I see no documentation about „Restore Delete Folders“ in the HCL Connections Documentation.
@Rene Schimmer: You have been asking if "deleting folders by accident" happens quite often and therefore require "restore of deleted folders" ... the answer can be found here: https://connections-ideas.hcltechsw.com/ideas/IDEACNCTNS-I-568

Thanks
Same as https://connections.ideas.aha.io/ideas/IDEACNCTNS-I-227
which is set to "Future consideration". If I understand the categorization correctly, it should be "Planned" as well.
Would be a very important feature for us. We need this for the files app within communites!
it´s also needed for "My folders" in Files app. --> The same for us!
test
This is needed for all folders, not just for Communities Folders.
We have several cases from clients where this is requested.
Please add it to the "Planed" status.
Thanks.
Not only for Communities, it´s also needed for "My folders" in Files app.
What about CCM Folders?
