New named Dropbox structure
I am a user of DropBox Business, on Windows 10.
Last week, I suddenly realized that the shortcuts to some of my Dropbox folders were broken.
A quick look learned me that the structure had changed...
Hello Dropbox,
I am wondering why Dropbox runs out a fundamental folder structure change without notifying it's customer beforehand?
What has changed?
- Main Dropbox folder name changed from "Dropbox (*Company*)" to "Dropbox *Company*"
- A "User folder" added as a "root directory", so an extra step into the Dropbox file directory.
- "Team folder" sits alongside "User folder" in the Dropbox "root directory"
Why Dropbox should notify before this kind of change?
- This change broke all links in all programs that use reference links. (InDesign, CAD programs).
- Our company now needs to go through all files using links and relink files with the added step of the user folder.
- This change broke the "Virtual drive letter" link in Windows.
- Creates confusion in the company, suddenly files dont work, links that were there, are not there...general confusion for a whole day.
I want to emphasize that I am not againts this change, it makes sense. But it is a change that Dropbox needed to notify beforehand. At the minimum write something about it in the "Whats new" page. I cannot find any information about this change.
