I can't use Shift + delete for my folders due to new "delete for everyone" pop-up message.
I am unable to shift+delete any folder inside my dropbox folder so I can skip the recycling bin. This seems to be connected to this new popup about asking if I'm sure I want to delete for everyone. Which is very strange, because this is NOT in a folder I've shared with anyone else.
Any ideas on how to fix this? Or how I can report this to Dropbox directly?

Hey MultiKoopa, thanks for your post.
As a first, can you send me a screenshot of the pop-up you keep receiving?
I want to have a visual and go from there.
Let me know when you’re ready.
Well, no, I can't. I already checked the box to never show that again, and there doesn't seem to be an option to "uncheck" that in the settings that I can see.

What happens when you try?
The "delete for everyone" dialog shouldn't have any impact on the ability to permanently delete a file or folder in Explorer. I do it all the time and I also checked the box to never show that dialog again.
Just... nothing. Here's a video:

Just... nothing.
Exit the Dropbox application from your system tray and try it again. If you get the same result, it's likely nothing to do with Dropbox.
Hannah ok I did this.
Now after resetting the file system warnings... This happens the first time I just press delete:
Shift-Delete now shows the this popup:
but... pressing "Yes" doesn't actually do anything; doesn't delete it.
Shift+Delete again shows this:
and pressing Yes still does nothing.

Hi MultiKoopa, one more thing, please.
Would you mind clarifying the version of the Dropbox app that you're using along with your OS? I just want to make sure you're not using a beta version, that could be causing that behavior.Windows 11 Pro, version 23H2, OS build 22631.4460
Dropbox v212.4.5767
