I work on a small team that uses Dropbox business as a shared storage space. Over the weekend, a few select folders (seemingly random) moved from the main hub to each of our personal folders. They still have the icon of the shared folder, but now exist in each of our personal folders. Dropbox does not allow us to simply move these folders back, and in the meantime we've made NEW folders in the main page to act as the old ones, copying all the contents into it. This has not been a solid fix because we keep finding files and folders moving around, and is very disruptive to our workflow and folder structure.

 

Any idea why this is happening? Was there an update to dropbox recently that is causing this? Dropbox has always been very stable before this, but having files move around on their own makes it almost unusable for us.
