So far, Monday does not have the ability to restore deleted files from files column. While browsing the file, it happens many time that you click the icon x and the file is suddenly gone. Since there is on confirmation step, your file could be lost easily.
I would love to see Monday has the ability to restore deleted files

I would really love this ability-to restore deleted files. Or, as an alternative, flashing the ā€œundoā€ button with the countdown to delete like we have elsewhere within Monday. Thanks.

Jepp,
just deleted a file from the Files column by mistake.
It was stupid of me to accidentally delete that important file, but even more stupid that I cant get that file back from the recycle bin.
Is there any new updates on this? Can the file be found somewhere now?

Hi Maria, any progress with this? Iā€™m fairly new to using Monday and I just accidently deleted a whole lot of important information from several columns. My mistake however itā€™s very frustrating that Iā€™m unable to retrieve all of the missing information and that itā€™s that easy for it to be deleted and gone forever.

@mariakorr - Any update on retrieving deleted files from a column? Or at least having a deletion verification to avoid accidental losses of files stored in an itemā€™s file column? Any help of update here is greatly appreciated!

Thanks!

This is an essential feature!! You should be able to ā€˜undoā€™ actions from the items activity log.

Not being able to recover files seems to make the feature of attaching files to items risky at best. How can you have a legit work os if it does not include the basics of a file server?

The file attached within the column can be accidentally delete and there is no way to restore it. We wonā€™t be able get to get back the information that being accidentally or intentionally deleted!!!

Hi @Kouji , our team has built Pro Backup for monday.com that can restore files linked to a column field.

Hereā€™s a tutorial video that explains you how to do this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DAopcKXU7J4
