Dropbox made some major updates from April 2024 that affects our team's workflow regarding file directory. We're using Windows and a lot of our projects are linked to the old Dropbox (Team's Name) directory, now it's synced to Team's Name Dropbox/Personal Name. However, the old Dropbox (Team's Name) is still there but hidden in our drive, we manage to still maintain the old directory for our old/current projects for the time being but for our new users, the old folder wouldn't appear. Is there a way to create a symlink between the new Team's Name Dropbox/Personal Name to the Dropbox (Team's Name)?
I'm afraid Dropbox wont support/sync Symlinks. Dropbox only sync's files inside of the Dropbox folder - so the files should be in that location and symlinked at the original

If I'm honest I'm not sure - but the symlinks themselves arent in Dropbox, they are at the original location.
A google of Microsoft's help pages may help?
