How to permanently disable confirmation prompt for file deletion on all devices

How to permanently disable confirmation prompt for file deletion on all devices

Hello,

we have dropbox api integrated to our application and recently we have started facing issues where our application cannot pull/delete data from dropbox folder unless we accept the confirmation promte d us. This has become annoying since we get the confirmation box each time we sync and delete data from a perticular folder. No luck even if we select option "Don't ask me again", the prompt appears again in sometime.

Please guide me through this so that we can permanently get rid of prompted option/confirmation box since this is giving lots of issues in our application

Please look into this as this is the priority since our clients are facing issue using the application.

This is complete rubbish. There should be a simple mechanism that stops the prompt from constantly appearing "Apply to all" would solve the issue after the first dialog box. It's just common-sense and it follows common standards - Apple even do it!

 

Just fix it!

I can't believe this is still a problem. I deleted thousands of files now I have to click the prompt each time?! I don't even know how to cancel now!

Are you updated on Dropbox? I'm asking because I used to have this problem, but its been a while since I don't see the dialog.

Need more support?
