files moved between folders show in activity as deleted

in the event log when you move a file from one folder to another is says it was deleted then added

it should just say moved and show the previous location and where it was moved to. instead of listing the action twice

    Hi ambern1023, thanks for messaging the Community.

     

    Are you moving files between private folders, or are you doing it to or from a private and a shared folder?

     

    Did you move the file via the Dropbox site or in Explorer/Finder?

     

    This will help me to assist further!
