"files stay here for the team" prevents me from moving files from team to personal folder

Well yes and no, 

Before this last major update, you could just tell dropbox to F off with his "team" folders and just use normal folders shared, you could share individual folders to individual people without needing to share the whole thing

Team folders have some nice features but for users that constantly needed to process data, not being able to move the data back and forth in and out of the individual folders was a pain, the constant nags broke scripts and caused lots of lost time and annoyed employees

"Processor" employees had their own "not shared" folders where they downloaded the data from the team folder, processed it, then moved it back into the team folder after the LiDAR processing was done a few days later, this was essentially impossible using teams.

Now with the new update, were unable to place folders on the dropbox root folder, private files are now forced to be used from the "users" folder, the user folder is a terrible place because it forcefully uses the name of the account as the folder name, there is no way to rename or change this, so we cannot just use the general scripts we use to process the data, we would have to make specific scripts for each employee and rename them every time this changes.

The only way to place a folder in the root folder of dropbox is to make a team folder now, which comes with all the restrictions

This is why this new update sucks, there's no way to work around this and this is what is pissing us all off
