    Hey heaven1206, thanks for reaching out to the Dropbox Community.

    There is a way to re-enable a file system warning such as this, if you disabled it.

    Please try these steps.

    1. Click on the Dropbox icon in your system tray/menu bar.
    2. Click on your initials or profile pic
    3. Click on preferences
    4. In the Account tab, press 'Option/Alt key' (Mac) or 'Alt + H' (Windows).
    5. Click on 'reset file system warning options'

    Let me know how it goes!

How did you turn it off in the first place? I want to turn mine off.
