Option to disable delete confirmation popup when deleting online-only files from desktop
When deleting "online-only" files or folders, I got asked for confirmation with a pop up, but there is no "do not show this next time" checkbox.
I know what I'm doing when I delete files and I don...
Problem: Every single time I delete a file, I get a deletion confirmation pop-up. This is extremely disruptive to my workflow when cleaning out a folder. Disrupting my workflow plus 1,000 Windows ear-piercing alerts makes for a terrible user experience.
Solution: Add a checkbox with an option to disable this confirmation. Past Dropbox versions did not have this problem, so essentially make the new code toggle-able.
