I'm amazed that there wasn't an outcry the other month when they - just one day, with zero notice - renamed my shared folder and made it a Team folder.

Big deal? Well, they actually changed the name of the folder. And now I can't modify it. So yeah, big deal. I have Logic Pro templates that look there. They all broke. It wasn't too bad for me, but imagine if you had scripts or tools or whatever pointing to a file on your FS that happened to be in one of the affected folders. You woke up one morning and they were all broken.

You can't just rename people's files. That's not part of the social contract I have with you, Dropbox.

Simlink to it?
I use http://johnnydecimal.com (disclosure: mine!) to organise my files. Symlinking is possible, but dirty. Messes other things up. I can't remove the folder that Dropbox put there.

It's just not right. It's my file system. Get your hands off it.
