    nope, works just fine to shift+delete a folder inside my Dropbox folder if the tray application/icon is closed. As soon as I open up the Dropbox app again, the problem returns. It's definitely the Dropbox app doing it.

      Hey MultiKoopa, if you come across the pop-up again, please send us a screenshot.

      Just make sure to either attach it to your reply from the camera button, or send us a Dropbox link to the screenshot, otherwise we won't be able to access it.

        I don't know how to make it appear again once I checked the box to never show it again. Can you explain that to me?
