I was given access to a shared Box folder with an organization. Their instructions were to download the folders I needed, make my changes, and then reupload as a new folder
I used the Box app for MacOS. I dragged the folders I needed onto my computer and made my changes. (More specifically, I dragged the containing folders onto my computer, realized I copied too many files, and put the ones I didn't need in the trash. The structure was like AuthorSubmissionsXXX/Edited_Files plus several other folders in AuthorSubmissionsXXX. Edited_Files was the one I was supposed to work with). Then today I went back to reupload the folders and all of the AuthorSubmissionsXXX that I had copied were gone! Did dragging them out of Box actually delete them from the server? That is not the behavior I expect when dragging from one volume to another! (I have been using Macintosh computers since the 1990s--if you dragged a file from a floppy drive or a server onto your hard drive, it would copy the file over, it would not disappear from where you dragged it from)
I was able to "restore" them from my Trash and put them back on Box. But still, I am now missing all the original Edited_Files folders. I was supposed to give the organization a new folder with my changes Edited_Files_WD, not save over them. Is there any way to restore these folders?
