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...

So the basic question - how do I restore the connection between my computer and all our shared folders.
This help article describes what occurred:
Basically, your file structure has been rearranged due to the upgrade. Your files are still accessible but if you're only relying on the list of recently opened files in your applications, then those won't work (the locations have changed and the apps can't find the files). Instead, you just need to navigate to your files and open them, either by double-clicking on them in your Explorer/Finder window, or by using your application's Open command and browsing to the file in its new location. Once you've opened the files from their new locations, your applications' Recent list should update with the new locations of your files.
That is actually the biggest problem - Finder no longer sees the Folders. I am not going from Recent files - I am trying to Open from my various programs or use Finder - In both cases, the folders do not show up.
