"files stay here for the team" prevents me from moving files from team to personal folder

I - a TEAM ADMIN - cannot move files or folders from a team folder, to my personal (i.e. ADMIN) folder. I get an incredibly annoying message "files stay here for the team". How do I get around this?

I suddenly started having the same issue today. Extremely frustrating. I can delete or move the file out of dropbox to my desktop, but not to my personal folder as Admin. Ridiculous. The kind of thing that will make me seek an alternative service when the time comes.

oz4 I think you will find that the top-level folder you "moved" out to your desktop has magically reappeared in dropbox.
