Constant pop-up notification when I delete files on my desktop. Can I remove it?

I accept that this feature of asking what a user wants to do appeared without warning. (I mean dropbox dont even know what a change log on release notice is so every thing is a mystery)   I acc...

Hi there, we’re sorry to hear about your frustration on this matter.

I’ve forwarded this information to our dev team to see if this can be amended for future upgrades to the desktop app.

Thanks for the feedback!

Hi, I'm an engineer at dropbox looking into this.

 

I think what's actually happened is that we moved this from an experimental beta feature (some users in beta get the feature) to being released and available for everyone.

 

That means that we may have enabled the feature for some computers which did not have the feature previously. Sorry for the inconvenience from the second round of disables you're having to do, though!

 

If you've disabled it on any specific computer you remember, and seen it again, please let me know. We definitely would want to fix that.

    I am also having this issue :(

    I don't want to be asked so I clicked on "do not show these messages" and 5 minutes later I'm getting them again.

    Very annoying.

    Never used the beta's.

     

    Was definitely a second round of them .58 then .60, if its gone now all good, just wanted to get on top of it, before it stopped the syncing on each version update.

     

    Will report if it occurs on next version release.

      version 60.4.107 rolled out, and what do you know

      Every single machine hooked up to this account started asking about if I want to move files out of dropbox, and if I want to delete files from dropbox. AGAIN, so tht check box means nothing, you think the only way people move or delete files is with explorer eh?

      Sort this [removed] out, add a preference to not be asked such stupid questions.

      Edit by moderator: Please refrain from using profanity on these forums or your posts, or account, could be removed. Thank you.
