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...

Hey mpraymond511, it sounds like your Dropbox Business team is going through this change.
With this folder structure, you can move a shared folder from the member folder (folder with your name) to the team space (the space outside the member folder, that the whole team can access).
However, some requirements need to be met:
1. The user needs to have edit access to the folder they are trying to move. To check this:
a. Click Share to the right of the folder.
b. See Can edit to the right of the individual user or group.
2. The Manage access setting needs to be set to Folder members. To check this, follow the steps below:
a. Click Manage to the right of the folder.
b. Click Folder settings.
c. See Folder members from the dropdown next to Manage access.
3. The folder is owned by someone on the same team as the person who’s moving it into the team space.
I hope this helps!

I have not gotten a new email that this change is pending and hope it does not happen. However, in my Admin Console under Content I see a banner message:
"Review folder names and make any changes before Feb 2
After the Feb 2 update, members with access to a subfolder are shown its path to the top-level team folder. Create a report to review folder names and members’ access to them. We’ll email you when it’s in your Dropbox Business reports folder."
There is no setting anywhere with a calendar Like there was previously to postpone it.
