New dialog box when deleting files via the desktop

Many Thanks Stevc

At last a straightforward answer to the question !

Why doesnt dropbox explain that synced and "delete everywhere" doesn't mean "everywhere". It's not difficult to explain!

I shall still test and see what happens though.

Have given up with Dropbox - way too confusing now.

I couldn't work out when dropbox deleted from the cloud and / or my home PC.

e.g. I saved a new folder onto desktop - and then saw it also oddly listed in my dropbox folder (why did it mirror the desktop but not the other drives on my pc?) - so I deleted it there - only to find the folder now also deleted on the desktop.

GDrive far easier to manage.
