What is this red dot on files sent to my Dropbox account?

I have a little red dot on files newly sent to my Dropbox.   How do I prevent the little red dots?

In that case, if you're trying to use a shared folder, then as you've noticed, it takes up quota on all accounts, so you'll need to try other methods in order to send files to them.

I really wish that was clear from the get go - now I have wasted 3 hours of my time doing this rather than working for the client.

I have lost all this money from time.
