I'm trying to save PDF files to my desktop app, but I get an error that they'll get removed instead.

Question or Issue
When saving a pdf to my dropbox folder I receive a message asking me to confirm removal of the document that I want to save?
Again - this happens when I attempt to save or upload a document to my dropbox folder. I also tried uploading the same pdf using the dropbox website and the same message appears. If I click "Cancel" the same message pops up again. Because of this I am presently unable to save new docs to my dropbox folder.
Many thanks for any help

That error is talking about moving files between folders.
Where is your Dropbox folder located out of interest? Is it symlinked at all?
The error message is referring to action that I did not request. I am simply saving a file to my local Dropbox folder on my "D" drive (available offline). I did not request to move or delete a file as the message suggests - so I'm a bit confused why it is appearing.
Sorry - I don't know what a symlinked folder is
Also - it seems to be specific to certain folders, as I do not get the message unless saving documents to certain shared folders
