I also did see mention of a new service that tackles this issue for IM history in general called - looks interesting but haven’t tested so far as it’s Windows and Linux only.įor anyone thinking of trying the symlink method, as with anything like this, please backup your files before attempting this, as YMMV.How to recover deleted Skype messages? You can restore the lost Skype messages from the main.db file. I do wonder if in the future Skype would ever offer up a secure way to store chat history with them. So for now this is working nicely for me. Its symlink goes into the Drobox folder.” I tried that method early on, and at least with Skype, the chat history kept getting written locally and never updating the Dropbox folder. Without moving it, one creates a symlink. So for this to work, you need to quit Skype before you plan on using it on another machine - which isn’t a bad idea anyway since leaving it open just means missed messages.Īnd lastly, I posted some of this to the Dropbox forum and one member there recommended a slightly different method where: “The original stays where it is.
