DropBox asks if I want to Delete Files after closing out
hello!
Occasionally, when I save and close out of dropbox documents, I get a pop up message if I want to delete these files from Dropbox and my account - I don't. How to i prevent this pop up message from opening? What am I doing to indicate that I want to delete this file?

Some applications, while saving, don't overwrite the existing file with the new version. Instead, they save the new file as a temporary file, and when you close it they delete the original file and rename the temporary file to that of the original file. Dropbox is syncing that deletion.
Usually there's a checkbox on that dialog that says "don't ask again" or something similar (I don't remember, has been a while since I last saw it). Check that box before responding to the dialog.
