We also have a user with this issue. She has never encountered the error before but has come in this morning and is getting the error message pop up every time she tries to do anything which she's a little frustrated with.

 

This is only the first time she's seen the error and nothing has changed recently and she's a fairly intensive user of Dropbox.

    Same here,

     

    Working with Dropbox support, started last week, our users get this popup for any file modification/creation/move.

     

    Permissions for teams folder are basic with no limited access, super annoying.

      This just started for us as well. We are using dropbox business advanced.  This is affecting our productivity and just started recently.  Please allow us to remove this message.

        We also have same issue.  Correspondence with DropBox help is generic explanation of what happens when you move files.  Help also recommended using website to move files.  Poor answer and refused to recognize that this is a new issue.
