I can't use Shift + delete for my folders due to new "delete for everyone" pop-up message.
I am unable to shift+delete any folder inside my dropbox folder so I can skip the recycling bin. This seems to be connected to this new popup about asking if I'm sure I want to delete for everyone. Which is very strange, because this is NOT in a folder I've shared with anyone else. Any ideas on how to fix this? Or how I can report this to Dropbox directly?
Cannot delete folder that was transferred to me when another user left the "Advanced" account.
Our plan is Dropbox Advanced (for a team of 12). When a team member left, their shared files were transferred to me to organize. Everything has been since deleted or copied elsewhere from these files, and yet there is one empty folder that will not delete. When I look at the permissions on the folder, I am the owner and it is shared with no one else. But when I try to delete the folder, I just leave the "Shared" folder rather than it being deleted. Is there a way to remove this empty folder from our files?
How can I permanently disable the "delete for everyone" prompt?
How can I permanently disable this "delete for everyone" prompt? I have to delete old files daily for work, and this message is a major hindrance. It doesn't happen if I take the time to sync the file to my hard drive, but that is a ridiculous workaround when I'm trying to completely delete a file. This needs a "don't remind me again" option. Am I missing some way to turn this off?Do files sync to a computer after getting deleted?
Here is the reason I ask: I have about 10k files in my Dropbox (on web). I am currently syncing with a computer (on desktop), but it says the status is downloading about 800k files. My only guess, is it is some how syncing deleted files as well? Or is it something else, or is my guess correct? I would like a solution to this, because obviously it takes a long time to sync 800k files.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.How do I disable the "Delete file for everyone" message?
There are some old threads on this but couldn't find anything recently. A client with around a million files in Dropbox is migrating to SharePoint- not specifically because Dropbox doesn't work but because the overall M365 environment works better for them. So I'm scripting synchronising by folder to SharePoint using robocopy. However, when I then delete the folder in Dropbox, I'm getting the prompt as to whether to delete for everyone. This is going to pop-up several hundreds times as that's how many individual top-level folders they have. It's not like one prompt appears for all the individual deletions - it's one prompt per folder deleted. I've been testing the script and maybe deleting a folder (sometimes containing 5,000 files) every minute. But the delete prompts are only occurring every 5 minutes or so, sometimes longer. I assume that's because Dropbox is deleting the first folder (which takes 5+ mins for that many files) and then moving onto the next folder How do I disable this prompt? I suspect I can't (doh!) so I might have to consider moving the folders to a "Deleted" folder which I assume won't trigger the prompt.
