Need recommendation for advising team on local syncing best practices

[Rebecca16]

We will be doing a very large reorganization of our Dropbox - making new structures in folders, moving files, and archiving unneeded stuff. In terms of offering the team guidance on re-syncing only needed items and disposing of the "old", is it as simple as requesting they trash their entire local folders and starting over? Our biggest fear is loss of work not saved past their own desktop.

@Jay Ok, now knowing these things I am curious as to the advantages of moving into a Business Teams account and absorbing everyone compared to just keeping everyone on individual plans since changing account types seems to then create the "issue" of a whole new structure type? In terms of the overall benefits (differences) of a Business Teams versus our individual accounts, can you point me to a place that lists it out?

The different plans appear on this page, with the differences between them. 

Broadly speaking, Dropbox Business teams allow the team admin to own all data on all the user accounts, with the option to delete users at any moment. 

Personal accounts mean the data is owned by that user, and no other person. If someone has a shared folder, and they're the owner, they own that data and can easily remove anyone else from the folder, which no option to regain access to the folder if the owner doesn't allow them.
