Windows 11 keeps asking permission to make changes
my pc asks permission to make chages at every file movement.
those notifications pile on the screen at each file created, deleted, etc. and i have to give ok to each one.

Hi there Minacio - thanks for letting us know about this.
Can you send us a screenshot of the exact message you're getting so that we can have a visual too?
Also, did you install the Dropbox desktop with admin privileges on your computer in the first place?
Let us know more and we'll take it from there.

You should be able to do it through the relevant button (camera icon or 'insert media' option) within your reply box or by dragging and dropping it into your reply Minacio
Could you give it a go and let me know how it goes?

I have/had the same issue, with dozens of little shields on my taksbar. It seems to have stoped for now. Was this something that was fixed by techs at Dropbox? If it comes back I can attached an image.

Thanks for letting us know, Mark K.48.
There's not something we're aware of that was fixed, but if it does come back, please send us a screenshot for sure.
Cheers!

Hey Minacio, can you perhaps add the screenshot to your Dropbox account and then send us a shared link?

In windows, I used the snipping tool to get a screenshot of part of the taskbar, then just selected paste (ctrl-V). See here:

Hannah OK, this problem is happening again. The little shields keep on building up like this:
Clicking on the shield, you get a popup window with "Do you want to allow this app to make chnges on yur device"
