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 confirmatio...
I also have the same issue, I'm doing some cleanup and organization in my dropbox, having that dialog every time I delete a file is very frustrating, is there a way to stop it (and just let me delete my stuff, that's why we have the trash bin in Dropbox right?)?

Dropbox StaffHey wilkerlucio, thanks for nudging us on this thread.
Could you send me a screenshot of the prompt you're seeing, just to make sure that we're on the same page?
Are you clearing out files directly through the desktop app or your local Finder/File Explorer?

Hello, sure, here is a screenshot:
I'm deleting the files from Mac OS Big Sur Finder. I would love to disable this confirmation modal completely.
- LusilThanks for your swift reply, wilkerlucio.
Although there's no option to currently disable this notification completely, thanks for sharing your thoughts on it with us.
If you have any other ideas or comments for us in the future, don't hesitate to give us another shout.
In the meantime, I hope you have a lovely day ahead of you!Seriously? We have to live with this? I went for years without this annoyance. Why is it happening now, and why can't you just add a checkbox to opt out of getting it?
