"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?

Hi thank you all for the feedback. We hear you loud and clear, and understand that this is a frustrating experience. We're working on reversing the change to allow you to move files in your team space to your personal folder. I will provide an update here when it is available.

That's great to hear, thanks Dropbox! The problem has just started happening to me too after years of using Dropbox happily. Very frustrating. I look forward to the update asap.
