I finally came across this thread and find it quite resourceful. Three weeks ago, I purchased a Synology NAS exclusively to back up my team's Dropbox. Unfortunately, we never came around to achieve this as at the time of set-up the "Team Space Experience" integration was already broken and only the Personal folder being synced by the regular integration. After extensive discussions with both Dropbox and Synology Support, we concluded that our team had already been migrated to the updated Team Space experience, and Synology is uncertain about when Cloud Sync will support this updated API.
So it is interesting to read that
a) the migration will be happening to all teams over the coming weeks with no option to opt-out and
b) third-party app developers have received as little information about this API change as we have, which is none, up until the mid of November.
In our case, the impact extends beyond Synology Cloud Sync; our integrations with Airtable, Coda, and other third-party applications are currently broken, significantly affecting our day-to-day work.
Thus, I am using this thread to express my disappointment with how Dropbox has handled this situation. Not only were developers not given an early warning about the impending changes, but even before the deadline, accounts are being migrated and impacted by the API changes – all without any notice to us, the users. I urge Dropbox to improve their communication with both users and third-party developers.
