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...
Well i leave a message here as well because we have been using dropbox for 12 years now.
For a while we have been thinking about moving all our projects somehwer else, like nextcloud or google drive but simply didnt because dropbox was still the best option. Now with this really useless change that questions everything and means we have to resync and then also update all folder pathes in our projects anyway makes us question if this isnt the right time to finally move to another cloud service.
I still hope for DB to make this change optional, which would make us stayl, if there is no way to avoid it, then this is probably the right moment to switch to another service for good.
The same thing happened to us this morning. I am the team admin, and as far as I can see there has been no notification.
Apart from nearly having a heart attack when I (didn't see) my folders in the new arrangement the two really big issues are:
• All of our files are now offline and this takes time to download again = waste of time = waste of money
• Our fonts stopped working via RightFont and had to troubleshoot that to get it working again.
Also wondering if now is the time to reconsider which cloud provider I use
