You might see that the Dropbox Community team have been busy working on some major updates to the Community itself! So, here is some info on what’s changed, what’s staying the same and what you can expect from the Dropbox Community overall.

Feedback about the file path change
I've read a couple threads on here, and I've seen the response about how "each team member will have a personal folder by default, which contains their own personal files/folders, as well as files that have been shared with them." The next time another idea or suggest comes through that involves changing a folder path - take it back to the drawing board. I could think of at least two other ways that 'personal folders' could have been implemented while maintaining the existing structure - and that was only in the past day since this fiasco started. The change has disrupted business. Let me give you some data points to include for future test cases to use. 1) Quick Access broke. Easy enough fix.. unpin and re-pin after successfully syncing up. 2) Excel links that were direct paths broke - literally have to go through each excel file and update links manually. I have a PowerShell script that does this.. but anyone without that script will have to manually update the links. 3) Out of 25 users, only 2 had a successful transition with the folder rename via their Dropbox Update. About 10 involved shutting down Dropbox because it was either stuck on database upgrade or starting. Had to restart the computer, and then allow Dropbox to run to get it to successfully transition. Also - when this happened, it didn't put it back where the folder was originally but ended up defaulting to the User's folder in Windows. The remaining workstations involved deleting Dropbox altogether and reinstalling manually. Any work that was done during the day was completely wiped. My client is furious and rightly so.Solved2.2KViews4likes4Comments
