Dropbox moved my folders into a new folder labelled with my name. How do I change it back?
Dropbox moved my folders into a new folder labelled with my name. How do I change it back? It's screwed up my synchronization, and I've wasted the better part of a workday trying to fix it.

3 years agoWelcome to the forum, rfunke.
If you’ve joined a Business team, then each team member will have a personal folder by default, which contains their own personal files/folders, as well as files that have been shared with them. For more info, you can also check this Help Center article.
As a result, I'm afraid this can't be undone.
I’ve shared your feedback with our team though, so that they can also see your comments on this and how it affects you.
I’ll be here, if you need something else.

This was a complete disaster, changed all the file paths and broke all sorts of scripts / tools that we use for automation. This has made having standard environments difficult since every user has a different path to dropbox. Would be really great to revert this unnecassary change.
