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...
recently there was an update on dropbox, which auto created a personal folder. it has caused a lot of problem for me and my users.
Is there ways we could remove this feature? some of the file path have moved to the personal folder.

Hi there, ap support, thanks for taking the time to post to our Community.
I moved your post to a thread that has lots of info relevant to your inquiry.
Make sure to check it out and if you have any questions, please let us know.
Does anyone have any solution to this?
I have been postponing this again for the last several months. Usually I can go 6 weeks out on postponing. Now I cannot go later than 7/31/24. It looks like I am being forced to do this upgrade.
I don't use Teams Folders and ran the report and it noted that no folder names will be exposed. The report noted "All clear-there aren't any subfolder names and paths that will become visible to team members after...."
One concern is file path. With this new structure, since the username will be added to the path. This will increase the path another 10 to 12 characters depending on user.
Is there a DB report to see file path length and flag any user files that may be too long? I want to make sure I do not have an issue with the path being longer than 260 characters.
