    Hi there Choix, thanks for checking in with us. 

     

    I tried this out and I'm getting the same results when I use the desktop app, but also when I copy any folder from the File Explorer/Finder, regardless of whether it's inside the Dropbox folder or not. For this reason, it seems to be an OS-based behavior. 

     

    If you've noticed this elsewhere or you have any other questions, let me know. Thanks!

    Cheers for the speedy response!

    Didn't even think to try that, but I am also getting it with regular file explorer. I will post to windows support.
