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...
I just got that notice as well. This is a horrible change and has me looking for an alternative service. It is going to cost our company thousands in staff time and project interruptions, and the move to having personal folders for our employees is going to be a major headache. Really wish Dropbox had done some consultation or advanced notification about these changes.
Will also have to re-sync the 5.5TB of data that is on my computer due to this change!
yes this is a desaster!
it breaks thousands of 3d files that rely on linked texture data. it is near impossible to change them, even more not in 30days!
i was very happy with dropbox over the years, but this is very very unusual in industry for a file hoster.
we will worst case have issue an refund and have to search for other more reliable services.
what is the sense to rename the main folder, in just switching the order of the 2 name parts?
it seems to make no sense at all beside this breaks all file paths, destroying years of work here.
please note that not only the file content but also the file structure is part of the data we own, that you change them, also on our pcs , we do not see as an ok intervention.
