Re: How can I keep my symlinks in the Dropbox folder on my Mac OS?

The change took effect. My symlinks no longer work. The symlink itself appears as a file now. The folder that was symlinked is now renamed as follows:

example old name: "Architectural Files"

new name: "Architectural Files (Symlink Backup Copy)"

This renamed folder is set to not sync. So at least it didn't fill my hard drive. So now my files are out of sync.

This is going to be a huge waste of time for me as I re-organize my files and storage devices or move to a new provider. I wonder what important feature Dropbox will remove next.

I am a very annoyed Dropbox Business Advanced customer :-(
