I don't understand exactly what's happening on September 1 when the Public Folder ends.  I understand that material in the folder will stay there, but how will I access afterwards and how will people I have shared with access the materials?  Will I have to redo all the sharing links in my dropbox?  I've shared a lot of stuff with people by creating individual folders for each of them.  How do I continue those collaborations?  New links emailed for every file and folder or is there some other way?  I am so confused.  I pay for a 2T account (I think).  Thank you.
