Thanks for taking the time to post here today, capellifabio.

Let us know if you have any questions.

Hey Hannah thanks for your message.
I already went through the changes introduced by the new API and that's why I was in touch with the support. I am very afraid honestly, I have like 10 years of work on dropbox and every project is synced to other specific folders.
Maybe we can find a workaround.. Like creating a folder in the old location of dropbox, call it "Dropbox" and make it syncable ? But we are not allowed to sync folder from outside the official dropbox folder no?

Thanks for getting back to me, capellifabio!
You could perhaps create a symlink in the old location to redirect to the new one, if that's something you'd like to try, but that's pretty much what we can suggest at this time.
