Dropbox surprise ? deleted files magically reappear after several years
<https://badcyber.com/dropbox-surprise-deleted-files- >magically-reappear-after- several-years/
A few days ago some Dropbox users experienced something rather unusual ?
the files and folders they deleted years ago reappeared in Dropbox
synchronised folders.
Dozens of users reported this strange phenomenon on Dropbox forums. The
stories look very similar to each other. One example from a user named
emilg:
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.
I checked the event viewer and it tells me that I added those 2
folders 47 minutes ago ( about the time when I started dropbox after I
installed it ).
Has this happened to anyone else ? I assume there?s nothing to worry
about but the whole thing just seemed somewhat surreal initially to be
honest.
In most cases we saw users discovered files they deleted around 2010 ?
2011, but some go back even to 2009. This is strangely at odds with
Dropbox retention policy:
By default, Dropbox saves deleted and previous versions of files for
30 days in case you want to recover them. After the 30-day mark, the
deleted files are marked for deletion in our system and are purged from
our servers. They can no longer be recovered after that point.
The only exception mentioned on Dropbox help pages are Business and Pro
accounts.
About 24 hours after the first cases were reported online, Dropbox
presented this explanation:
A bug was preventing some files and folders from being fully deleted
off of our servers, even after users had deleted them from their Dropbox
accounts. While fixing the bug, we inadvertently restored the impacted
files and folders to those users? accounts. This was our mistake; it
wasn?t due to a third party and you weren?t hacked.
Well, this does not look good. If we get this right, it took Dropbox
about 7 years to realise some files are not deleted properly. Looking at
the number of users complaining about the bug online, this was not a
very limited case. Looks like users have the reason to be angry.
Let it be a good moment to remind of the golden rule of cloud computing
? what goes on the cloud stays on the cloud, even if it is ?deleted?.

> The aim of COMMUNIA?s project Copyright for Education is twofold. First, we will continue legal research on educational exceptions and limitations, based on the research done by Teresa Nobre. With the aim of providing reliable evidence to COMMUNIA and other stakeholders that wish to engage in discussions concerning the European Commission plans to make legislative proposals on the EU exception for ?illustration for teaching?. This legal research will map the fragmented landscape of copyright rules in Europe. This enables us to see how copyright restricts teachers in doing what they do best. Secondly, we will conduct research on modern educational practices with relation to copyright. The digital era has created many opportunities for teachers to teach their students in new and engaging ways. We will interview teachers in different members states of the European Union that use digital technology in their classes to understand which outdated legal rules limit modern, innovative education. The outcomes of this research will help us understand what an education exception should encompass.

Salve a tutti.
Ho da poco concluso un'analisi dei siti dei comuni d'Italia e, prima di pubblicarne i risultati, vorrei cercare di capire chi ha la responsabilità sugli stessi.
Mi spiego meglio:
Il 90% dei siti hanno un pattern comune,ossia www.nomedelcomune.provincia.it .
Ho supposto fosse una direttiva del governo, ma non riesco in nessun modo a trovarla. Sapete se esiste e dove potrei cercare?
Per quanto riguarda i server, la gestione degli stessi è indipendente in ogni comune o ricade sulla provincia? Anche qui suppongo che ci siano direttive e/o regolamenti.
È possibile trovare anch'essi?
Vi ringrazio per le eventuali risposte.
