Hello,

I've opened a database on my Dropbox (desktop) so I can work on a project from both the office and work (which isn't working cause I can't seem to use the same database, but that's for another thread).

Now I keep getting this warning\notice from the app:
Remove "Project.db-journal" from your Dropbox account and all devices?
I figured it has something to do with DaVinci because of the suffix + it only appears since I opened that folder.

I don't know if it's a bad sign... Is it possible it has something to do with the backup, and it's just asking for my permission to delete older files once new ones are created, and that's ok?

Your use case is a recipe for disaster. From the FAQs

Please note that accessing disk databases simultaneously using more than one software (including file-syncing services like DropBox) may compromise the integrity of the underlying project and configuration data.

Collaboration using a PostgreSQL database and project server is available on the free DaVinci Resolve 17. If you really want to continue using DropBox for some reason, we advise exporting your database as a DRP and reimporting it between uses.

This means that only the DRP files stay on Dropbox and the main project files - including Project.db and other files DaVinci Resolve uses stay outside.
