Hey GaryH_BAR01​, thanks for posting here today!

In order for me to have a visual, would you be able to send me a screenshot of the exact message you get? I want to check if you have the option to click "Don't show this again" or anything similar.

It'll also be helpful to know if you notice this behavior only when trying to delete content from shared folders, or with any folder.

Please bear in mind that assisting with VBA itself is out of my scope, and I'm not familiar with how it works exactly. In any case, the thread is going to remain open, in order for other users to share their input, and knowledge with you.

In any case, I'll be happy to continue troubleshooting with you about the Dropbox prompt you're seeing. Thanks!
