I moved 2 subfolders from a shared dropbox folder to a folder on my desktop. Not long after, I moved them back to the dropbox shared folder and trashed the desktop folder.

Hello. I use the web version of dropbox (www.dropbox.com) to organize files. Many of my team members prefer to use the DESKTOP version of drop box and open files through File Explorer.

New Option: Turn off space-wasting versions and "conflicts".
Yes, I know, if you can get people to waste mass tonnages of space, they can be more easily pressured to upgrade their account. Still, the versions, and especially the so-called conflicted files, are not only useless (as I do my own version control, thank you very none), but time consuming to repeatedly remove from the…
