"files stay here for the team" prevents me from moving files from team to personal folder
I - a TEAM ADMIN - cannot move files or folders from a team folder, to my personal (i.e. ADMIN) folder. I get an incredibly annoying message "files stay here for the team". How do I get around this?

Hi thank you all for the feedback. We hear you loud and clear, and understand that this is a frustrating experience. We're working on reversing the change to allow you to move files in your team space to your personal folder. I will provide an update here when it is available.

This "feature" is infuriating. As an admin, I should be allowed to manage my folder tree as I see fit. This feature needs to be opt-out at the very least. DROPBOX REVERT THIS CHANGE AS SOON AS POSSIBLE.
