Description

This setting makes users confirm that they want to delete files in the cloud when they delete a large number of synced files. If you enable this setting, a warning will always appear when users delete a large number of synced files. If a user does not confirm a delete operation within 7 days, the files will not be deleted. If you disable or do not configure this setting, users can choose to hide the warning and always delete files in the cloud.
