Hi Dropbox people! Reading this article above, I'm wondering what is the meaning of this sentence:   

" Visitors to existing user-based links will be redirected to an equivalent content-based link"

What does it mean exactly?  "Equivalent" who decides this?
Please advise, Thanks JY

    The old link will redirect to the new link, which will continue to point to the same file or folder.
