Alert when moving a large number of files on Mac OS from Team Folders
We recently had a user who accidentally dragged the entire contents from a team folder to his personal DB folder. The move started at that point, and fortunately, we were able to stop it. But this got me concerned that it could happen again, which would be a huge mess to unravel and cause a lot of disruption. It'd be nice if, when someone went to move such a large number of files that the Dropbox Desktop app would alert them and make them verify that they want to move all the files before it allows the move. Not sure on the best way to handle this, but thought I'd give my feedback on our situation.
Thank you!

Hi jeatonkc,
You might want to check this link when you are logged in to your Team account : https://www.dropbox.com/team/admin/security/alert_policies and use Security Alerts to track possible threats or impacting events/transactions in your work/organization.
Hi!!
That’s a smart suggestion a confirmation prompt for bulk moves could prevent major accidents like this. Dropbox adding such a safeguard would definitely help teams avoid messy file relocations.
