I just noticed this, but now “Move to Dropbox” appears below “Move to Trash.” This is stupid and dangerous–at least for me, since my dropbox account is not my own but one I share with a client. So if I think I’ve moved a porn pic or something to trash, and suddenly my client can see it. Not that I ever look at porn, but you know what I mean, right?!

Can I get this out of the menu? Thanks for any help!

BTW, I tried this:

But it does not show up in the Services section of the keyboard shortcuts under Preferences. Argh.

I don’t think this is possible. It would have to be a setting in Dropbox, not in OSX.

My only suggestion is just to use “command-delete” to trash stuff.

Surely there’s some code I can put in Terminal?!

Try removing the folder /Library/DropboxHelperTools.

/Library is invisible to the Finder by default - you may need to use the Go-\>Go to Folder menu item to go to /Library.

Ha, that worked! Thanks!

(I hope it doesn’t eff anything else up…)
