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.

        Hey everyone, thanks for all your reports. 

         

        This security feature started becoming available with the updates to the desktop app near the end of September, which is why you all are noticing it now.

         

        We do appreciate the time you've taken to share your feedback with us and, if you have any other thoughts on, just give us another nudge. 

         

        Thanks again!
