Hi @Victoria 494, thanks for bringing this to our attention.

 

Does this user have an external drive connected to their machine? 

 

Do they frequently connect and disconnect it?

 

This will help me to assist further!

Hey @Victoria 494, sorry to jump in here.

 

This message appears to be related to our external drive backup feature.

 

Is that enabled for your team and has this member enabled it on their computer?

 

If you turn off the feature for your team, do you still get the same message?
