Simple scenario here. An admin account creates a folder and shares it with a group.
One of the group users, in Windows, deletes the shared folder on their system. It goes away only for them.
Now, the folder is gone just for them, but all the rest of the users are still accessing it fine.
How can I make this group shared folder reappear for that user again? I don’t want them being able to delete it like that, it’s a group share for a reason, so all the people in that group have it available! But I don’t see any option to restore it, to select it to sync again, to make it appear in their account. It’s not in trash either. All I want is to make it sync to that user again.
Is there any way to prevent a user from deleting shares they aren’t in control of? Selecting it to not sync (uncheck the box) is one thing, but in this case they just flat delete the entire folder and there is no way I see to restore it or tell it to sync again.
It would be nice if the desktop sync tool has some way of telling me that there are folders I technically have access to but are not currently in sync.
Even when I log in to the web interface and go to the “shared with you” section, it doesn’t list the group share folder that I’m a part of of.
This whole thing just leads to confusion and inconsistency. None of the interfaces tells me there is an available share in my group after it’s deleted, there doesn’t seem to be any way to enable it again.

Steps to replicate it:
- UserA creates a folder and shares to groupA.
- The shared folder syncs to all the groupA users.
- UserB deletes the folder in Windows Explorer.
- Folder disappears from everywhere, UserB has no knowledge such a group share folder is available to them any more, no way to restore it, no way to mark it to sync again, no way to access it, it’s not in their trash folder, not in web interface.
How do I get it back for this user?
