- nickpsecurity 11y agoWow. That's crazy. Strange thing was reading the staff comments that didn't justify why sharing one folder and deleting that share should delete everything else. I haven't used Dropbox in a while but I know most of these services can do things on a per folder basis. Why they'd make this design decision versus one with limited damage is beyond me. Even if it makes sense somehow, both accounts should have to agree to delete everything if both will be effected.
