"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?

I don't understand this and I don't want to. I am the god of my dropbox account and I require the power to move files from a team directory to a personal directory. I had it until today.

In short... you summarized it perfectly 🤣

 

We pay for our Dropbox, were the master admin, if we want to nuke it, wipe it, reset it we should be able to, period, full stop.

 

Oh and wait until you find out you cannot delete any teams folders you made by mistake, you can only "archive" them, that definitely adds to the whole "we know better than you" mentality they got going
