Its very convenient for them to use backward compatibility as an excuse. but in reality its simply not true. they can implement the change totally transparent to the user. have seen people do crazy things with dropbox integration in on 2 day hackathan's. in this case of moving the storage to app folder, shouldn't take more than coupe of weeks for an junior engineer. only things is whether you are willing to do it nor not. Apparently agile bits are not willing to do. (who would't like to access entire dropbox folder of the users ;) ) Keep in mind that, since dropbox did not have app folder concept initially, many companies used to have access to entire dropbox then moved to app folder model later. they did not break backward compatibility and they didn't make the excuses.
