I use a few send-only folders and never want to use the "override changes" feature. While I understand there is now a confirmation dialog, I'd rather not even get that close with an accidental touch. A smaller added benefit would be uniformity of the folders interface.

Yeah, I just added a comment requesting the same in #1769 (comment)

I use this to send all pictures from my android camera to my server and desktop PC. I set up the phone as send only because the server and desktop contain the pictures from previous phones, or content from the current phone before a periodic cleanup.

In that context I would like to be able to disable or hide this action from the folder settings, so I cannot accidentally click on it. Having no confirmation dialog and being the biggest message on the screen is a very dangerous design IMHO.

I have proper backups, but still... I don't want to need to restore from them (again).

This is exactly one of the use cases I'd like to be able to disable override for

I understand there is now a confirmation dialog,

I think that's only in the fork.

I just lost data to the lack of a confirmation dialog on the "override changes" button today. Not only did I believe it would use changes to my local copy, I expected that anything with such an effect would have a confirmation dialog that would clearly explain what would happen. Yes, it's in the docs, but I hadn't edited my setup in months.
