Is renaming a higher level folder going to break shared links?
Hello,
Are share links absolute, or do they conform to hieracal structure?
Within an inherited folder structure is a folder containing shared newsletters.
Can I re-name a lower level folder without **bleep**ing up the links to the shared higher level files?
root folder
--- folder 1
--- folder 2
--- folder 3 <- can I change the name of this folder?
------ newsletters ("DO NOT change name of this folder" it says)
--------- share file 1
--------- share file 2
--------- share file 3

I believe Dropbox changed shared links recently so that they are not based upon the folder structure they are in, however, I'm not 100% sure on this and as such I'd be tempted to trial it in another folder directory first because IF they do change you cannot restore old links.
