Dropbox location changed, and my stuff are now hidden.
Dropbox just failed big time. Moving my stuff to somewhere hidden (not hard to find) and then not letting anything live on my hard drive without a billion errors. Go back to your last update and leave us alone.
How in the world are they going to fix this mess?

Are you on a Mac? If so, this was likely the due to the File Provider update, where Apple now requires cloud sync folders to be located in the Library/CloudStorage folder. You can read more about the changes here:
