User restrictions on bulk deletion or moving

It would be great if it were possible to set a user so they cannot perform bulk deletions or moves of files. One of the users, who does not have admin rights, accidentally moved a folder with 350,000 files. As a result, we lost the functionality of the links when returning the folder back. It would therefore be great if some users could be restricted so that it is not possible to move or delete files beyond a certain quota.

    Just had a similar issue. Been a dropbox user for years but considering moving to sharepoint after the amount of disruption the issue caused. Customer service basically said there is currently no way to keep this exact issue from happening again.

      Hi, yes, I see this as quite a serious problem. Mistakes happen, and if something cannot be undone, then what is the point of a backup? I also found the support in this regard to be very inactive and unhelpful.
