Move Folder Warning to avoid accidental moves

Move Folder Warning to avoid accidental moves

When you go to delete a folder or file on dropbox it has a message that asks if you are sure you want to delete...but when you go to move a folder to a different location there is NO warning message. This has happened a lot where someone accidently drags a folder to a wrong location and would be prevented if there was a warning message that made sure this was a move you wanted to make.  This should also be the case if you are trying to drag a whole folder out of Dropbox to avoid an accidental move that the user is not aware they are making.

please create a warning pop up box before moving a folder.  It is there before deleting a file, however, it is crucial when files are lost because of accidental moving of a folder.  This results in the same action as deleting if you are unaware you have moved it.  When a user is unaware they have double clicked, or held too long, the folder drags to wherever they let go.  This is a huge problem in business when your entire office folder is moved. Critical information is lost. And the backup is not as of that moment in time.
