I also have the same issue, I'm doing some cleanup and organization in my dropbox, having that dialog every time I delete a file is very frustrating, is there a way to stop it (and just let me delete my stuff, that's why we have the trash bin in Dropbox right?)?

Hey wilkerlucio, thanks for nudging us on this thread.
Could you send me a screenshot of the prompt you're seeing, just to make sure that we're on the same page?
Are you clearing out files directly through the desktop app or your local Finder/File Explorer?

Hello, sure, here is a screenshot:
I'm deleting the files from Mac OS Big Sur Finder. I would love to disable this confirmation modal completely.

In the meantime, I hope you have a lovely day ahead of you!- DrTeeter4 years agoHelpful | Level 5
Seriously? We have to live with this? I went for years without this annoyance. Why is it happening now, and why can't you just add a checkbox to opt out of getting it?
