    After discussing this with support the problem has been closed and cataloged as "expected behaviour" but under consideration for future improvement, which is a bit of a disappointment.  Such bad UX does not convince me of ever taking a payed subscription on Dropbox.

    If other people encounter this, please do the effort to log this with support so it gets prioritized.
