We have tons of links, pinned files inside our apps etc. What was the reason that dropbox wanted to destroy all of our links? How do we get back to the old folder structure?

3 years agoHey Stuart M.12, sorry to see you're having trouble.
Can you please clarify what you're referring to?
Are you referring to the Dropbox for macOS app update that moves the Dropbox folder to ~/Library/CloudStorage?
Any additional info on the issue would be really helpful.

Hi, we use windows. The path to our team folder used to be something like:
c:\company name (dropbox)\company_TEAM
now after the update it is suddenly something like:
c:\company name dropbox\company_TEAM
That small change has caused hundreds of files to no longer be easily accessible. The other change causing problems is for all our files outside of the TEAM folder. For example:
old path:
c:\company name (dropbox)\folderxzy
now after the update it is suddenly something like:
c:\company name dropbox\myfirstname mylastname\folderxyz
Please help!
