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...

My company received the recent announcement about "Upcoming changes to your Dropbox team account".  Quite frankly, it has me terrified, starting with the very first bullet item related to naming convention.  This is going to cause major problems within our organization, and I can't believe we're alone.

 

We have thousands of files that are linked to our DB repository.  Revising all of those links throughout our products and documentation is not an option.  I'm being told by our management to find an option within DB, or they will be moving away from DB.  It's that much of a hardship on us.

 

Is there truly no method to opt out of this change in naming convention?  We cannot let this happen.

 

Thanks in advance for any thoughts anyone can share.
