New named Dropbox structure
I am a user of DropBox Business, on Windows 10.
Last week, I suddenly realized that the shortcuts to some of my Dropbox folders were broken.
A quick look learned me that the structure had changed...
We too rely on the local sync as being the primary reason for using Dropbox. If you find a solid alternative, let us know; we are looking, too.
I'm not sure why Dropbox is pushing so hard to move everybody to the cloud, other than resources (pushing files back out to sync to clients). But when they charge hundreds of dollars per year, that's what we're paying for. There are lots of cheaper cloud storage solutions that are as good or better than Dropbox if all you want is cloud storage.

We will see if the forum moderator deletes this comment, but sync.com looks like a very direct competitor, and worth a look. If Dropbox is sufficiently worried about them that they delete this comment, then it significantly increases the likelihood that I will check them out. Or find an independent community discussion forum for this topic; I'm sure there is one somewhere.

Ha ha... we are paying hundreds of dollars per month for our team members.
I would have kept paying, I guess, but this reorganization change was the final straw for us.
I *still* don't understand Dropbox's motivation for forcing this change on their business customers, but I no longer need care.
