I have read this article but I don't believe it is useful for existing links that have already been set up and shared.

Is there a way to have existing links transferred to the new architecture structure without having to update the links? We have literally thousands!

Dropbox StaffHey mattahern, I'm afraid that the old link architecture will remain in place for your existing links, so you'd need to delete them and create new ones, for them to have the new architecture.
I hope this clarifies things and sorry if that causes an inconvenience.
Let me know if you have any more questions.
