How to Permanently Delete Old Files from Dropbox

admin — Fri, 22 Apr 2011 21:12:03 +0000

Whitson Gordon — Dropbox’s terms of service give the government access to your Dropbox files if they request them through proper channels, and that’s not exactly popular with most folks. Trouble is, when you delete files from your Dropbox, it keeps them on its servers. Here’s how to get rid of them permanently.

Dropbox’s version control system is usually a welcome feature, but if you’re trying to keep your files safe and secure, it throws up a little roadblock. We’ve already shown you how toadd a second layer of encryption to your Dropbox, but any files you had sitting around before the encryption are still on Dropbox’s servers, in the form of old versions.

To delete those files, make sure the originals are deleted first—you can re-add them later—then head into Dropbox’s web interface. Click the “Show Deleted Files” button at the top of the right-hand pane, select the files you want to delete, and hit More > Permanently Delete. After that, they’ll be gone for good and you can re-upload the encrypted versions.

A Small Business Backed By a Strong Community of Support = Success!

I’m sure you’ve heard that no one can truly become successful on their own. Anyone who has become successful will tell you the same thing…you need a to enlist the help of others in order to take your business to the highest level.

If you’ve ever read the book, “Think and Grow Rich” by Napoleon Hill, you might remember that he talks extensively about having a mastermind group to help you focus, build upon your own strengths, leverage the strength of others and to enlist their ideas.

You also need to surround yourself with positive, encouraging people who will help you when you stumble and cheer you on when your feeling discouraged. There’s true power in the mastermind mentality and it’s one I hope to build at Creative Design Worx.

Let’s look at a few examples.

Say you walk up to your friend and say, “hey, I need a website for my business and I think I’ll do it myself” . The negative person would be first to point out that you don’t know anything about building a website. Then further complicate the process by speaking out of hand with a million reasons “why” you can’t do it, shouldn’t do it, etc.

The positive, like-minded person would say “great! How will you do it? I have some experience (or know someone who does) that may be able to point you in the right direction”.

Which person would you rather tell?

People don’t always understand how their words and actions can become very discouraging. You need to surround yourself with people just like yourself who are willing to coax you when needed, offer honest advice, share ideas, cheer you on when things go great and even kick your butt back into action when things don’t go exactly as you wanted.

The internet can fast become a mass of confusion and information overload. You’ll have people coming at you from every direction telling you what you need to do to become successful. Who’s right? How many are just selling you on an idea that may or may not work? How many really have your best interest at heart?

I won’t make claims that Creative Design Worx will make you successful and rich. Only YOU can do that. But I can offer you the tools and training. And I can offer you the mastermind community to stand behind you in support.

Whether you’re building your online business from scratch or developing an online presence for your existing business, having the full strength of a like-minded group behind you will help you get the job done.
