"files stay here for the team" prevents me from moving files from team to personal folder

I - a TEAM ADMIN - cannot move files or folders from a team folder, to my personal (i.e. ADMIN) folder. I get an incredibly annoying message "files stay here for the team". How do I get around this?

This issue just started for me yesterday.  I was able to drag and drop files into their sub folders just fine, and now all of a sudden I have to copy the file, and paste it into the subfolder, then go back and delete it from the main folder.  This terribly cumbersome and time consuming.  I need this to go back the way it was working.  Is there a fix for this issue?  This is the message I get when I try to drag and drop.

    It seems to be a recent update issue and the only thing that can probably be done is to overwhelm the Dropbox people into TURNING IT OFF NOW
