How to reset the file system warning options on Mac
I have a new Macbook Air M3. I am new to mac. I have DB for Business. I have DB on macOS on File Provider.
I opened an excel file in a shared folder and a system prompt came up asking me if ...
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.

Dropbox StaffRinconman, 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.

Thanks for the additional info, Rinconman.
I'd like you to try something; as a test, try to move a file out of your Dropbox folder, to see if all file system warnings have been affected or just the file locking one.
If you try to move a file out of Dropbox, you should get a pop-up warning you that the file will be deleted, so let me know what you find.
I do get the system warning that it will be deleted from all devices when trying to move out of DB. I did not check that one to no longer show it so it shows every time. I do not get the locking message.
