Regain setting that asks if I want to delete from everywhere

Regain setting that asks if I want to delete from everywhere

edgood
Explorer | Level 3

Hello all,

 

I've used Dropbox for many years and, up to now, when I delete files, a box would appear to say something like "do you want to delete from Dropbox everywhere" Yes or No?   The same box had an option - something like "don't see this message again" - foolishly, as it turns out, I selected this option.

 

Now I find that I do occasionally accidentally delete files when I am going through 1000's of photo files!  I would like to start seeing this setting again as it makes me pause a second before confirming. I've looked at settings at Dropbox.com, but can't find where to change back. Can anyone help?

Hey @edgood, thanks for posting today!

 

Have you tried reinstalling the Dropbox application, to see if that brings the prompt back?

 

Keep me posted.
