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...

Hi Walter
I'm obviously not the only one facing this issue.
There might be not much to worry about, but it's a surprizing change as a user, especially since it doesn't seem to be mentionned anywhere in your public changelog (unless there's another one accessible?).
Any info from you dev teams?
Thanks
Walter

Hi all - thanks for your patience while we looked into this from our side.
In short, it seems that you received the upgrade mentioned in this Help Center article on your business accounts recently.
If you happen to be a team admin, you should have received an email regarding this upgrade.
I hope this clears things up!

You're taking the change of entire company folder structures pretty casually. I can't express in words how upset I am with dropbox at the moment.

Haha, the "solution" to this incredibly important issue is that "you should have received an email about this, I hope that clears it up." This would be funny except it's not.
You Dropboxers do realize that making a change that automatically removes all of our content from our local computers and puts it into your cloud-based service, without our permission, borders on criminal behavior. This is not a small change that you notified us about, and gee, it's no big deal, we told you about it.
