Warning before removing a file from Dropbox
Until recently dropbox warned me before I relocated a file outside my dropbox folder. I appreciated the safety this gave me. Recently I do not get a warning before doing this and I would like to reactivate this feature but don't see how I can manage this.
In that case, you can reset your system warnings through the app's preferences.
Just navigate to the Account tab and press Alt+H. Then, click on the 'Reset File System Warning options' button and click 'Apply' and 'OK'.
You may need to reboot your computer for those changes to take effect.
Let us know how it goes Glenn R!
Hi Hannah
Thanks for replying to my question. I did check that box because when I was reorganising my files it had been asking if I was sure I wanted to remove files permanently from dropbox at least ten times in a row (I was removing quite some folders) and I thought I could undo this easily which was not the case, hence my question. I use Windows 10.
