Suddenly cant create multiple folders at once
I use dropbox online for work. We have to create multiple folders a day for multiple clients. For years now, the easiest thing to do has been to click "Create Folder" and then use /'s to tack on the rest of the folders within. So for example Client Name/Current Policies/Address/Policy Name In doing so, the Policy Name folder would be created inside the Address folder, and so on with the Client Name folder being the main folder in the tree. This was working for me just yesterday. Today, when I try to create folders in that manner, I get this error: The following characters are not allowed: \ / I'm assuming this is some new implementation, though I cannot for the life of me figure out why they feel it would be necessary to do so. Creating each folder in the tree one by one is tedious and time-consuming and cannot possibly go over well with the plethora of businesses that do their work through dropbox and have to regularly create multiple client folders. Anyway, my question is, is there a workaround, or another way to create multiple folders that I'm missing? For reference, I cannot use the app version on my computer; I have to use the online version.
Clip webpages and notes to Dropbox
It would be a nice feature to have to be able to clip webpages, articles and notes to a designated folder in my dropbox account. Evernote is a good clipping tool, but its storage and recall functions are limited. It would be nice to clip a whole web page, with images, as well as a just the basics, even if it is a text file.
Create a new Paper doc from/with a Paper template file while in Dropbox online
Currently, a user can create a new (blank) Paper doc and create a new Paper template by selecting the white "+" (black background) next to the search field. It would make sense to add functionality allowing a user to create a Paper doc from/with an existing template here as well. With the recent changes to Paper, templates are not nearly as valuable, and this would restore some of the value as well as be a piece of very complementary functionality to the actions already present.

How sure how to set-up my Dropbox account, on my new mobile in order to see my files.
I know this probably has been asked before, but I have Dropbox on both my phone and laptop. I drowned my phone and the new phone set up via google restore has Dropbox loaded but I don't recognise the interface and cannot figure how to set it it up to see my existing folders and files. All the prompts on the phone interface seem to be upsells or lead to nowhere. I'm signed in but if I click on "Link your desktop" it prompts me to download Dropbox to my computer but I am afraid to do this as Dropbox is already in my computer (as an app? perhaps) and I fear losing my existing folders and files if Dropbox is downloaded (again? to my laptop). Can anyone assist me please? I'm not tech illiterate but cannot figure this one out.
