Hi All

I too have started receiving this prompt across hundreds of folders in our Team Dropbox.

We have hundreds of team members and this is now starting to spread throughout other members devices.

 

As you can imagine, with many team members and many terabytes of files constantly being moved and accessed, this prompt (and every subsequent click to dismiss) is becoming a significant time/resource drain.

 

If this behaviour is intentional, can a 'Don't show again' prompt be added?

Is there any resolution to avoid this prompt? Our admin/folder access privileges have not been adjusted according to our team admin.

Hi all,

 

Reporting the issue here too.

 

Three Mac users all getting this popup when moving a file around within the same team folder. Permissions are consistant between the files and the destination.

 

Popup started last week.

    We are having the same problem.

    This started last week, has now become a major annoyance to our workflow.

    Please fix this ,or give us an option to turn it off.
