Issue
We are using Dropbox via File Provider on macOS 26.
The message appears when a local file is made online-only. We see this with Pages, Numbers, and Microsoft Office files.

Strangely, it does not happen all the time, but it can be disruptive when we are trying to free up space on the system.

Does anyone recognize this, and is this message coming from Dropbox or from macOS?
