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...
We are in the process of moving everything over to Google Drive. Our Agency is already using Google Workspace, so the cost part was easy.
It took some experimentation to understand all of the security settings, but we make the cut-over on Wednesday the 21st - the day before our business account renews. We are using GoodSync for cloud-to/from-local sync (i.e. working files), which syncs directly to/from Google Drive, on-line only (which Google calls 'streaming') will sync correctly without two local copies. In the end, I am hopeful that our cloud storage will be easier to use and will definitely use less HDD space.
Good luck!
I signed up for a free account with Sync.com and have sync'ed content to three devices very easily. It is an obvious copy of Dropbox -- the original Dropbox before the Great Reorganization -- which is exactly what I want. Initial experiments all are positive, including modifying a file on one device and seeing it sync to others, and moving the entire repo to an external drive, which worked seamlessly (Pause Sync, move repo, Resume Sync: doesn't get any easier than that).
Next step is to test multiple users. So far I am impressed, but there are a lot of subtle things around sync'ing that Dropbox historically did very well, so it will take some time to see if there are bugs in Sync (like getting on and off of airplanes with a laptop, modifying the same file on different devices, etc).
