Hi there, Rinconman, thanks for your post.
Was the prompt to lock the file Dropbox related or macOS related?
Because the file might have been in the Dropbox folder, but the Dropbox folder is just like any other folder on your computer, just with syncing abilities.
Have you tried to do this through your OS instead?
Keep me posted.

It was a Dropbox related prompt. Asking to lock the file so others cannot edit it. I can lock it by right clicking and choose lock file but wanted to get the prompt back for now.

Rinconman, after restarting your device, did you follow the same steps again, and there’s no Apply button showing still? Are you seeing any other options perhaps?

Same after restart. I need to hold the option key and I see the box to "Reset File System Warning options". If I let go of the option key it disappears. So while holding the option key I click on it and it looks to press (changes color) but there is no prompt like apply.
