Is there an easy fix for accidentally dragging folders to different locations?
Device HP Z2 Tower G4 Operating System/Browser (if using the web) Windows 10 Dropbox App Version (if using the app) 241.4.4795
I have an ongoing issue with folders in our Dropbox Plus account....

I guess that makes sense, but if accidentally dragging a folder is enough to leave and create an unshared folder shouldn't Dropbox ask me before I leave? Also I can still move the folder back on the dropbox website but my boss (who owns the folder) then does not have access to the folder. After accidentally dragging a folder I also cannot drag it back because it because Dropbox says I don't own the folder...so idk how I can be making an unshared copy that I don't own??
I'm still not sure exactly what is happening, but it seems like there are a lot of implications for accidentally dragging a folder. Perhaps since dropbox can sense and stop me from dragging it back, it should be able to stop me from dragging it in the first place?
I can perhaps try the rewind feature next time, but my boss and I are constantly updating files throughout the day, so if I don't notice that I've dragged the folder immediately using rewind would likely delete dozens of needed files.
