Every time I open a Powerpoint file I get an error message from DB for no reason

It has nothing to do with symbolic links. Try this: create a blank test text folder. Move it into any folder that is in Dropbox itself (not a symbolic link). Now move it out of Dropbox to a local folder that is not in Dropbox: I get the error every time.
I get it-it's a way for Dropbox to tell us that we are moving something out of a Dropbox folder (whether within Dropbox or a symbolic link; it doesn't matter). But every time I even edit some powerpoint files I get that error, when I'm not actually moving something outside of Dropbox at all. This is really annoying. Please stop it. And I'm running v. 56.4.94 not a beta now. The behavior had stopped but now that I transferred everything to a new computer, it's back.
Even worse-unless I click the blue button to take powerpoint files out of dropbox just by moving them one level up (and still within dropbox), it won't let me move them. Hitting Cancel reverses my move.

So I would hope that this issue is addressed. Not sure what it is about powerpoint files (and only ones I had in two folders created in the past week) that would constantly trigger these warnings when I'm not moving the files out of dropbox. I should be able to open those powerpoint files without getting that warning. I should be able to move them to another folder still within dropbox and not trigger that warning. I get that Dropbox doesn't want to officially encourage symbolic links, but they work, have worked for years, and were the reason I chose Dropbox over other competing, and less expensive, options. I have many shared folders that are in a larger symbolically-linked folder. Moving all that over to Dropbox directly rather than through symbolic links likely will break all those shares.
