Dropbox, make absolutely no mistake. Your "feature" represents a data-loss situation even if you don't lose one file. You've lost settings on files that may have been thoughtfully made on a case-by-case basis, and you wiped that out without notice, without annotation, without any care for the preferences of your users.
This was a thoughtless and lazy example of sub-par programming and design. Your team should be ashamed of themselves and the permanent damage they have done to Dropbox's reputation. You are no longer trustworthy, you are no longer "beloved."
I have terabytes of unused space on my OneDrive storage that I'll be moving my mission critical files to. I may not resubscribe to Dropbox when my current term runs out. This is a shame, I've been a user since you first launched, and much of my default storage was gifted to me because of my recommendations that brought you new users. I'm not a hater here, I'm a victim of your poor decisions.
