You might see that the Dropbox Community team have been busy working on some major updates to the Community itself! So, here is some info on what’s changed, what’s staying the same and what you can expect from the Dropbox Community overall.
I am aware that you can disable permanent deletes for non-admins, however, being able to disallow non-admins to initially delete content would stop any issues being caused by accidental deletion - which could be left up to more senior members of the team.
Totally agree 🙏
Maybe also make sure that all users have the delete confirmation dialog enabled on their device? In Windows this is simply a checkbox in the recycle bin properties. With a delete confirmation dialog it's pretty difficult to accidently delete something. Users that still manage to delete something by accident at that point, might need to have their editing rights disabled altogether for certain folders? so that they simply can
't delete files at all (but also not edit them). I realize this solution might not work in all scenarios but it can certainly help reducing the risk of issues.
