How to permanently disable confirmation prompt for file deletion on all devices

Hello,

we have dropbox api integrated to our application and recently we have started facing issues where our application cannot pull/delete data from dropbox folder unless we accept the confirmation promte d us. This has become annoying since we get the confirmation box each time we sync and delete data from a perticular folder. No luck even if we select option "Don't ask me again", the prompt appears again in sometime.

Please guide me through this so that we can permanently get rid of prompted option/confirmation box since this is giving lots of issues in our application

Please look into this as this is the priority since our clients are facing issue using the application.

    I can't believe this is still a problem. I deleted thousands of files now I have to click the prompt each time?! I don't even know how to cancel now!
