Issue with Dropbox creating a folder and moving all my files into it changing the file path.

[jawknee43089]

Its seems as though the new update creates a folder based on the username and moves all folders and files into it. This is causing all kinds of issues on my end as this is now changing the file path for everything that has been moved. Currently I have Dropbox off and have manually moved the files back to their original location. If Dropbox gets turned back on, it will try to move files again into the new username folder it created..

Has anyone else ran into this issue and if so does anyone know how I can stop this?

I'm assuming you're on a Mac? If so, refer to the following help articles. The way Dropbox functions on a Mac has changed to work with Apple's File Provider API.

Not on MAC. We are on Windows server

I don't think you can prevent those changes. The team admin for your account would have had the option to postpone it for (I believe) 30 days, but that option likely no longer exists if the account has already been converted.
