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...

dropbox business
Organize

UPDATE: this is apparently a byproduct of the new Team update that was pushed out.  The root was relocated into a user folder; the root of that folder is now served to clients as the "root" (a virtual root).  The copy of my v2 folder failed for reasons unknown at this time (I believe it to be file path lengths that were hitting the 256char limit, but that is still to be explicitly tested). 

 

Thanks.
