Thanks for clarifying, Robert F.41.

 

I understand you're referring to the file system change, due to updating your Dropbox Business team to the newer version.

 

I do understand your frustration over this and will make sure that your comments are passed along to our team.

Hi Stuart, I spoke to Dropbox support about this exact issue and they said it's expected and unavoidable with the new update to the Dropbox Team system.
