How to turn off notification "Because it's online-only it won't be moved to your Recycle bin"
Does someone know, how to turn off this annoying notification?
"Delete xxx.xxx? Because it's online-only it won't be moved to your Recycle bin"?
Hey there bigsky - how are you today?
I moved your post under this thread as your inquiry echoes the OP's query and to keep things neat around our Community.
I double checked this internally and when it comes to the Smart Sync notifications and the option to disable them, this not possible I'm afraid.
This specific type of notifications is a failsafe in order to save our users from un-necessary deletion/changes and cannot be disabled.As for your consequent inquiry, again this is not possible; to disable those notifications beforehand.
At this point, I'd like to thank you for your feedback - I will log this with the team as a feature request.I know this isn't what you wanted to hear but I hope it helps to some extent. Please let me know if you have anything to add or ask; I'll be happy to follow up!

Dropbox StaffHey there Maxim K.6 - how are you today?
Could you forward me a screenshot of this error and the steps you take that result in it so I can have a better look of the matter at hand?
Thanks!
Steps:
- enable smart-sync,
- make some directory "Online only"
- delete any file from it.
For every file I get this warning. I understand, how "Online only" works, can I switch this warning off?
Hi all,
I'm using the latest macOS Dropbox client on a Mac. Everything works well but there are a handful of recurring Dropbox alerts I find extremely annoying.
The worst among the bunch are Online-only-files-related alerts, which I'm plagued by thanks to my Dropbox Pro subscription; they raise their ugly head with every (online-only) file deletion, without an option to turn off any future incarnations of it.
Picture:
The following notification are less annoying since they can be turned off after their initial appearance, yet I've been wondering if there's a way to disable them in advance, before they pop for the first time? This would really streamline the deployment of many Dropbox clients I'm required to do occasionally.
Thanks!

Thanks. It would be great if opting-out of those alerts would be added in the future.
