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...

Example.
File path that was :
X:/Dropbox(SWA Architects)/Jobs/1709 Gevers/dwg/1 plan/xp-2-RCP-L2
is now:
X:/SWA Architects Dropbox/SWA TCI/Jobs/1709 Gevers/dwg/1 plan/xp-2-RCP-L2

If there is a way to undo this "upgrade" and set everything back to the way it was please let me know !

Example Screen shot from one file showing how its attachments (xrefs) have not been found.
Weirdly one file was found.
Two files were picked up from the wrong jobs (arrows) just because the destination files had the same names (frankly worse than not picking up a file at all).
It is strange however (having looked into it myself now) that some files have been found with the new paths and I have no idea how that is happening when the root folders have changed. All very mysterious but very concerning at the same time.
