"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?
This seems to be a new (and extremely, insanely annoying) feature. How do you turn it off and turn it off permanently? I DO NOT want to "copy the files then go back and delete" because, say if I have 10 files in there, and I want to MOVE 5 - by copying 5 then going back and deleting the 5, I might end up deleting the wrong ones.
I WANT TO BE ABLE TO MOVE THE FILES LIKE I USED TO BE ABLE TO. Dropbox - turn off this feature now.

Let us know if you have anything else to ask or add.
I'm very relieved (albeit sadly) to see so many people share their frustrations relating to this idiotic 'feature'. As if having to deal with this issue wasn't enough, it was extra infuriating having Dropbox support gaslight me first by suggesting that I was doing something wrong, and then that this was expected and desired behaviour, for my own benefit. 😠
