Why are "BROMIUM" folders being automatically created within Dropbox?
Hi All, We have only just recently had a new folder automatically being created insome of our dropbox folders called "BROMIUM" which is supposedly for security purposes withnuntrusted files. We have a Sophos system on our computers for protection - Can anyone tell me how to stop these BROMIUM folders being created automatically? Thanks

They're likely being created by HP Sure Click or HP Wolf Security. Ask on the HP support site or uninstall/disable that software.
I have the same issue. I deinstalled security wolf (because HP wanted to start charging me for this and HP wolf is full of bugs). Now dropbox is synchonizing non stop, creating thousands of these Bormium folders in my very complex directory / folder structure....
The question is can I deleted these bromium folders?

If you dont need them yes you can - but they are obviously still linked to something so that needs working out and stopping first or they will just reappear.
Thanks. I stopped dropbox and restarted it. At least it stopped the syncing process. It was strange because dropbox was syncinc files, but was indicating at the same time that all files are synced....
Now at least dropbox has stopped this process. It indicates that all files are synced.
I did a search on dropbox. The results were 1544 bromium folders....
